We free wrongfully convicted Oregonians. Administered by ojrcenter.bsky.social. Member of the Innocence Network.
Join us at QDoc for Night in West Texas. The film is a probing examination of the cracks in the justice system and how one innocent man, James Reyos, slipped so easily through them. Reyos spent decades in prison until a local police chief uncovered buried evidence. qdocfilmfest.org/night-in-wes...

His conviction was overturned thanks to a black lab named Lucy. The story of Lucy the dog, and the revelation that she was alive, well, and living in Gearhart on the Oregon coast, captured the imagination of people around the world.

🧵Today, we celebrate seven years of freedom for our former client, Josh Horner.

Josh was wrongfully convicted of sexually abusing a child in April 2017 and sentenced to fifty years in prison, effectively a life sentence for the then 41-year-old.

Our attorneys fought for years to overturn his conviction in court but were unsuccessful. That left one last hope: a pardon from Governor Brown, which was granted after a thorough review.

Earl is an Army National Guard veteran. In 2009, he was wrongfully convicted of sexual abuse by a non-unanimous jury in Malheur County. There were no witnesses. No physical evidence. His conviction was based on false allegations that were later fully recanted.

Congratulations to our client, Earl Bain – celebrating five years since his Freedom Day!

Five years ago, Oregon Governor Kate Brown did something that almost never happens here – or anywhere: she granted Earl a pardon on the grounds of innocence.

Reporter @noellecrombie.bsky.social sat down for a quick Q&A with author & exoneree Calvin Duncan to discuss his experience as a jailhouse lawyer, his wrongful incarceration of 28 years & his upcoming speaking engagement at our benefit THIS IS INNOCENCE on Sept 11

Imagine spending 20+ years in prison fighting to get the records that could prove your innocence – only to be told by a judge you should have gotten them sooner. And now…it’s “too late.” [1/4]
