Georgia Innocence Project

Congratulations to Brandon Pugh on his freedom, and to his attorneys for their relentless work! This is what responsibility looks like: when prosecutors are presented with evidence of a wrongful conviction and choose to do the right thing. Georgia Innocence Project is honored to have played a small role by providing a letter of support, laying out the wrongful conviction factors present in Mr. Pugh's case, and the resulting reasons to doubt the validity of his conviction.
