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.

In September of 2023, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Michael Ricciuti vacated the conviction of Thomas Rosa, Jr. who was wrongfully incarcerated for 34 years for a murder that he did not commit. At this time, Mr. Rosa still faces the prospect of a fourth murder trial. We hope Mr. Rosa’s story of injustice will help amplify the difficulties -- and resistance -- we face fighting wrongful convictions.
