*BREAKING* On July 31, Edward Wright was freed from prison and reunited with his family after being wrongfully incarcerated for more than 41 years.  Mr. Wright’s conviction was vacated in April based on findings of police and prosecutorial misconduct. However, his fight for exoneration is not yet over. Rather than dropping the charges against Mr. Wright, the Commonwealth may still decide to retry the case.

For many, this was the first time they had ever felt safe enough to confront trauma in a community-based setting designed specifically for them. In a world that often overlooks or misunderstands the long-term impact of wrongful incarceration, this retreat made one thing clear: healing is not only possible—it is our right.

Every June, we take a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made and recommit to the work ahead. Thanks to your support, we’re bringing hope, healing, and freedom to people who have been wrongfully convicted—and building a stronger community for all those impacted.

Edward Wright’s conviction has been overturned! Mr. Wright has been wrongfully incarcerated for more than 40 years for a murder he did not commit. Judge Jeremy Bucci granted Mr. Wright’s Motion for New Trial based on evidence of official misconduct, including withholding of exculpatory evidence and false testimony at Mr. Wright’s trial.

It’s taken many years to find and test evidence in Jason Carroll’s case, and we finally have the preliminary results from DNA testing. There’s more work to be done to identify a person from the evidence, but we're grateful there’s a path forward and the possibility of finding the truth.
