Let’s bring Melvin home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ea0f42f37e637e23b6c8b/1618800036009-GF1HNZGERS1U38H167FF/IMG_1289.jpg Home - Meet Melvin Melvin has spent more of his life in prison than out in the world. He was 17 when the crime happened, 18 when he was arrested, and 19 when he was sentenced to life without parole. He’s made the most of his situation, but there’s more to him than just a man who was targeted and wrongfully convicted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ea0f42f37e637e23b6c8b/1618800074045-HJO608GTMVOKVDTCD330/Copy+of+Untitled.png Home - About the Case Melvin’s case is not a case of eyewitness misidentification. It is a malicious, purposeful, and calculated attempt to pin the murder of a good man on an innocent boy. A nefarious and twisted web of political, judicial, police, and media corruption ensured that Melvin was set up to fail from the start. He never had a chance. https://www.freemelvinortiz.org/our-team daily 0.75 2022-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ea0f42f37e637e23b6c8b/1618847396671-F8MT3L18EADNE8IWEX5K/IMG_6230.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ea0f42f37e637e23b6c8b/1615217606218-US46JSME0K6M52TJBHGF/5F6DBA25-E6C6-4BF8-9505-D2F326255799-371A4CE3-5223-450C-87E8-ED7226648D0F.jpg Meet the Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603ea0f42f37e637e23b6c8b/1618801178834-J5ZK3QPWIJUQOV7RMROZ/00xp-dixon1-videoSixteenByNineJumbo1600.jpg Meet the Team - Making an Exonoree Making an Exoneree is an extraordinary and unprecedented course and program. Every spring semester since 2018, a group of highly motivated Georgetown University undergraduate students reinvestigate likely wrongful conviction cases, produce short documentaries that suggest innocence, and create social media campaigns calling for exonerations.
