Amanda Knox

They've exhausted all their appeals. The DNA was not saved, so it couldn't be tested. There are a million things that can go wrong. And in a lot of the especially older cases where they've already gone through all of their appeals process and there just isn't a process to there isn't a hearing that they can have that would reconsider their case. How many appeals are allowed? I mean, it depends.

Or does it vary by state or case? Yeah. Yeah. I would say that like, you know, there are technical like there are things that happen on the state level, things that happen on the federal level. So like there it's it depends case by case where it is, what's going on. But yes. So like there there reaches a certain point where the United States government said you had your chance too bad.

And that's why actually Mark Godsey, who is a former prosecutor, now head of the Ohio Innocence Project, is attempting to change laws internationally to make innocence a human right. Because right now, if you are innocent of a crime, you are not guaranteed freedom. If you can prove you're innocent, it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed to be freed or found innocent.

all that you are guaranteed is a fair trial. And if you have exhausted the process of a fair trial, tough nuts. So what we are trying to do, or what he is trying to do, and just sort of by we, I mean the innocence movement, we are trying to establish a human right to, if you can prove your innocence, then it doesn't matter where you are in the legal process.

You deserve to have a chance to be freed.

You deserve to have a chance to be freed.

You deserve to have a chance to be freed.

That's incredible. And I just, how can people, just everyday people contribute to helping something like this, like a movement like this?

I mean, again, one big way is to look up your local innocence project. So that's really key is it's like find what's happening locally. The best thing that you can do is look at what's happening on the ground where you are. And then so find those people who are doing that work locally. Sometimes it's in your state.

Sometimes it's in like an area like the Midwest Innocence Project is a project because they cover like three different states. Or for instance, the Idaho Innocence Project used to exist, but they ran out of funding. So now a lot of the cases that the Idaho Innocence Project was working on have now been brought on to the Innocence Center, which is what I work with.
