Korey Wise Innocence Project Details

The American criminal justice system contains many features designed to guard against convicting an innocent person. But we are humans and, due to honest mistake and otherwise, there are innocent people in prison. We'll never have a perfect system, but the Korey Wise Innocence Project (KWIP) is dedicated to doing what it can to fix as many mistakes as possible.The KWIP receives requests for help from people who believe they have been convicted despite being innocent of any offense, and evaluates these claims to see if there are factual and legal grounds to get back into court with the claims. When the KWIP learns of a case that appears deserving of further investigation, the case is referred for further evaluation to volunteer lawyers, who may be assisted by Colorado Law students.Services The lawyers and law students may review transcripts, read investigative reports, speak with previous counsel, research the state of the law at the time of the conviction, search for previously undiscovered errors, determine whether new forensic techniques might help, and make a recommendation as to whether the case should be pursued. When a case appears deserving of being re-litigated, the KWIP recruits private lawyers and law firms, as well as investigators and experts, to represent the individual.Qualifications The KWIP is not a substitute for the traditional methods of appealing a conviction. Therefore, the KWIP will not take cases in which the defendant already has a lawyer, or is entitled to a lawyer at state expense. The KWIP will not take a case unless there is a genuine and provable claim of innocence. The KWIP gets involved only when the traditional methods of appealing a conviction have failed.
