Working for Innocents
The Innocence Project of Texas (which is a separate entity from the Innocence Project based in New York), was founded in 2006 by defenders Mike Ware and Jeff Blackburn. Since that time, IPTX has grown to be one of the leading innocence organizations in the country having exonerated or freed 35 people. The Andrews talk with IPTX staff attorney Caitlin Gilbert; someone who has long been devoted to fighting for the wrongfully convicted. This highly successful office runs like a well oiled machine with staff attorneys evaluating over 1,000 cases per year.
