The Innocence Project

https://www.innocenceproject.org/

"The Innocence Project, founded in 1992 by Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck at Cardozo School of Law, exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice."

it was presented through the context of a wrongful conviction of a yt male...but of course, knowing the disproportionate number of black prisoners...it's not a leap to assume the overwhelming number of wrongful convictions were of black citizens.

"To date, 356 people in the United States have been exonerated by DNA testing, including 20 who served time on death row."

It would be interesting to know if any LEOs were held responsible
