Do you accept new cases? How about ones from out of state? I reviewed a case like yours years ago. I am still 100% sure the man is innocent. But his appeals failed, his defense attorney refused to acknowledge his failures (attorney was actually in prison for drug and DUI convictions), and much more. I could do nothing. I worked for one of the reviewing judges. My belief couldn't overcome the procedural infirmities of the case. The man will most likely die in prison. He's been incarcerated for +_25 years already. If you are ever looking to help someone, his name is Kevin Richard Herrick, unjustly convicted in Florida. DOB 10/1966. He is most certainly innocent. I'm amazed at your decision to use your money to help others. You're a good man to move forward after such trauma and use your pain to help others avoid it. I wish you a long happy life.

Thank you for answering. It's a heartbreaking case. I hated not helping him. I did reach out once I left the job so he would know at least that I believed him innocent. It may have made it worse, but I just wanted him to know. I found him a pro bono guy to do a DNA appeal but the guy dropped the ball. Another denial. It's a bad case all around. I'm glad you prevailed. Thank you for the AMA.
