In fear of the death penalty and at the urgency of inadequate Attorneys they accepted unprecedented plea deals with Claiborne being released with time served and Richardson receiving a 5-year sentence. In 2000, after mounting public pressure, the FBI arrested and tried both men for the same murder. A federal jury found both men not guilty of murder, but the judge still sentenced them to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1630656554891-YL32KR8K1IIDA57MSMH9/Life_After_Justice_Homepage_EconomicAdvocacy.png Battling Injustice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://lifeafterjustice2.squarespace.com/reclaiming-lives daily 0.75 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631709533830-UCPB96CTFZGIQCMPWXCJ/Life_After_Justice_Website_ReclaimingLives_EmpowermentImg.jpeg Reclaiming Lives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631709713710-XOZXNDYCLSCGQDPW4ZAX/Life_After_Justice_Website_ReclaimingLives_TechnologyIcon.png Reclaiming Lives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631710069473-HIOW9L6EJXQOTJMUIAUH/Life_After_Justice_Website_ReclaimingLives_MentalHealthIcon.png Reclaiming Lives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://lifeafterjustice2.squarespace.com/about daily 0.75 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/81a1372d-9fa5-491d-ac41-dddc364e3767/Charlotte_0075_sm_edited.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631720400407-FXAKI3OQOG1KFAWJZGCF/Life_After_Justice_Website_About_JoiThomasAdamsImg.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631720135392-HY2WIRY34E3QZQKWB3T6/Life_After_Justice_Website_About_TyraPattersonImg.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1632511066362-3V973M1S0EXIIG74MI8T/Jarrett_Adams_About_JarrettAdamsImg_v2.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631719746107-XDGFCK9RKMANOY9LP06V/Life_After_Justice_Website_About_AntioneDayImg.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631720229552-5B1YPIKYBE2OMUFGZ8VF/Life_After_Justice_Website_About_AnnaVasquezImg.jpeg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631720718252-MK74BLJTF1TNVEVTW4JG/Life_After_Justice_Website_About_Partners_InnocentsProjectLogo.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://lifeafterjustice2.squarespace.com/donate daily 0.75 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631712980770-E1TH9MKCHL4QSI6LCIQO/Life_After_Justice_Website_Donate_InstitutionalSupportImg.jpeg Donate - Institutional Support The work of Life After Justice is pivotal in creating a legal system that lives up to the promise of the Constitution to protect the rights and dignity of all its citizens regardless of race, beliefs, sexual orientation, or circumstances.

Ferrone Clairbore Terrence Richardson and their mothers have not shared a Mother’s Day with each other since 1998. Ferrone and Terrence are both serving life sentences for crimes they did not commit. As we champion their exoneration, we also pause to acknowledge and make space to support the mothers gravely impacted by their unjust imprisonment. This is the 23rd Mother’s Days that injustice has stolen. The fight to prevent a 24th Mother’s Day is ongoing. Join us for brunch on May 8th as we bring a community of support to Brenda Allen and Annie Westbrook, the mothers of Ferrone and Terrence, and add resources to our shared request for their sons’ freedom. https://lifeafterjustice2.squarespace.com/donate-form4 daily 0.75 2023-03-22 https://lifeafterjustice2.squarespace.com/donate-form daily 0.75 2023-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/590fdfa629687fab6a0e14fb/1631713275491-40CS8RN4WGSR3RO17H8U/Life_After_Justice_Website_Donate_IndividualSupportImg.jpeg Donate - Donate To Support LAJ Each contribution to Life After Justice helps us free the wrongfully convicted and restore their lives after justice. This fall, LAJ will direct contributions toward two critical projects that will help to inform the national conversation around wrongful conviction: LAJ National Survey Of Wrongfully Convicted Individuals and their Loved Ones. LAJ advocates for building an ecosystem of holistic support for wrongfully convicted individuals and their families. There is an urgent need to truly understand the experiences and challenges faced by this unique community in various aspects of their lives. Through this project, LAJ will contact wrongfully convicted individuals and their loved ones nationwide to examine the individual, relational, communal, and societal factors that led to their wrongful convictions, the systems that helped or harmed impacted individuals, and the long-term implications of wrongful convictions for individuals and communities. Through this project led by impacted individuals, we aim to gather collective data and experience to advocate for policies and programs grounded in truth rather than conjecture. LAJ National Incentivized Witness Database. An incentivized witness is any witness who testifies against the defendant based on the promise of receiving a benefit or avoid potential threats. Despite being a leading cause of wrongful convictions, research and policy reforms in this area have been very limited. At LAJ, we are committed to addressing this pervasive issue. We are currently undertaking a comprehensive study to shed light on the problem, with the intention of using our research findings to develop effective solutions. Our deep concern stems from the countless lives shattered by wrongful convictions based on questionable incentivized testimony, while the use of incentivized witnesses remains largely unregulated. We firmly believe that our Incentivized Witnesses Project holds immense potential to advance our mission of eradicating wrongful convictions through data-driven efforts.
