Michelle Murphy was exonerated in 2014 after wrongly serving 20 years for the murder of her infant son.  She was wrongly convicted of the crime in 1995 based largely on a false confession. She was sentenced to life in prison without parole. DNA testing of the crime scene evidence pointed to an unknown male as the real perpetrator. While representing Ms. Murphy, lawyers also uncovered other evidence pointing to her innocence that was known to the prosecution at the time of trial but never disclosed to the defense. Ms. Murphy currently works at the Tulsa County Public Defender’s office. Ms. Murphy joined the Exoneree Advisory Council in 2019.
