First day of the new semester means we're inducting our next intern team! We're excited to get underway again in 2025.

Our longest imprisoned applicant, Stephen Jamieson, was convicted of the high profile 1988 murder of Janine Balding. His case has clear indications of misidentification and a coerced confession. New DNA testing could reveal the truth. Read more here: bohii.net/stephen-jami... #WrongfulConviction

Our applicant Boronika Hothnyang's murder conviction rests on a lone witness's dubious testimony, no forensic evidence, and questions about her ability to commit the crime. Language barriers further undermined her defense. Read more about here case: bohii.net/boronika-hot... #WrongfulConviction
