Photo: Innocence Project client Felipe Rodriguez is pictured with his attorneys Nina Morrison (senior litigation counsel at the Innocence Project) and Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma on the day he was exonerated in New York City. Felipe was wrongfully convicted based largely on the false testimony of a police informant and because evidence supporting his innocence was unlawfully withheld from his defense attorney. In 2017, Felipe was freed from prison after 27 years when his sentence was commuted by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. As a result of a reinvestigation conducted by the Innocence Project and the Queens County District Attorney’s Office, Felipe was fully exonerated in 2019 after seeking justice for nearly 30 years.

Thank you to those who supported “A Celebration of Freedom & Justice“. Although the benefit was cancelled due to COVID-19, we are so appreciative of your continued partnership during these demanding times.
The Benefit is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 27, 2021 when we look forward to paying tribute to the National Basketball Coaches Associate and Innocence Project Board Member, Jessica Roth. We look forward to seeing you then to celebrate the honorees and the freedom of the many people who have been exonerated.
