About Innocence Project New Orleans
Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO) is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing wrongful convictions in Louisiana, focusing on legal review and exoneration efforts for potentially innocent individuals who have been incorrectly convicted. Registered in SAM.gov since 2009 and operating as a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization specializes in post-conviction legal investigations and support for individuals who may have been wrongfully imprisoned. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, IPNO works to systematically review criminal cases where inadequate legal representation or insufficient evidence may have led to unjust convictions, particularly among marginalized populations.
Through federal grant awards from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), IPNO has consistently received project grants to support its mission of reviewing and challenging potential wrongful convictions. Recent federal grants totaling approximately $1.1 million have enabled the organization to conduct comprehensive case reviews, focusing on cases handled by public defenders before 2011 and employing expanded legal authorities to examine scientific and technical evidence. IPNO has developed a strategic partnership with Louisiana State University Law School, forming a Wrongful Conviction Clinic where law students work alongside IPNO's legal team to identify, investigate, and potentially exonerate individuals. The grants have specifically supported activities such as reviewing 246 cases with potential ineffective counsel issues, investigating cases requiring non-DNA scientific evidence examination, and conducting forensic database searches. Their work aims to not only free potentially innocent individuals but also to improve the integrity of the criminal justice system by systematically addressing systemic legal representation failures.
