Mississippi Innocence Project

Mississippi, starting this month now has an Innocence Project office/branch/division (not sure what it is technically called). Previously all Innocence Project cases for Mississippi were run out of the New Orleans office but now Mississippi is kind of on its own. This project while already having good seed money and having a home at the Ole Miss Law to cut on overhead had a big fundraiser last week with keynote speakers of John Grisham and Scott Turow (both very famous legal authors of fiction and non-fiction).

Here is a pretty good Jackson Free Press article talking about the new Mississippi Innocence Project.
