In the lead-up to Wrongful Conviction Day on Oct. 2, the Innocence Project and the Innocence Project of Texas are sharing a series of powerful stories of individuals who were exonerated of crimes they did not commit. The series is the result of a collaboration with StoryCorps, a nonprofit organization dedicated to recording and preserving stories while fostering meaningful conversations. 

These stories, which will be preserved in the Library of Congress, aim to educate future generations about the causes and impact of wrongful convictions.

Innocence Project of Texas client Patrick Waller discusses his wrongful conviction experience with friend and attorney Mike Ware. Mr. Waller was wrongly convicted in 1992 of a robbery and kidnapping he did not commit. He was exonerated in 2008.
