Description:
The purpose of the Category 2: Wrongful Conviction Review Entity-Led Strategy component is to focus on the review of post-conviction claims of innocence. Projects must be led by a wrongful conviction review (WCR) entity. Funding will support high-quality and efficient post-conviction representation for defendants in post-conviction claims of innocence. Projects should also include an assessment of the risk for wrongful conviction among reviewed cases, and should support the prevention of wrongful conviction, including setting criteria and prioritizing for review those at highest risk of wrongful conviction.
