We can make a difference
Support Innocence OC and step into the movement to rewrite narratives, challenge a flawed system, and champion the innocent. We are driven by the belief in redemption and the power of collective action. By standing together, we can reshape destinies, revive dreams, and reaffirm our commitment to genuine justice.
Our justice system was intended to safeguard the innocent. Instead, it often ensnares them, stealing years and derailing lives.
The ominous“kill zone theory” is a legal loophole that allows people to be charged with attempted murder in situations involving multi-victims, even with no concrete evidence of intent to kill.
This theory disproportionately impacts people of color and leads to severe sentences that defy fairness. Innocence OC is committed to challenging this flawed theory, advocating for a more just interpretation of the law, and correcting the injustices caused by its misuse.
We advocate for the innocent and unjustly accused. Our focus spans a broad range of cases. Additionally, we support those deprived of adequate legal assistance.
Our justice system was created to protect and serve innocent people. But, too often, it traps the innocent and fails to deliver true justice, fairness, and impartiality.
People who are wrongfully sentenced lose an average of nine invaluable years, victims of a failing justice system.
Studies show that 4% of those incarcerated in the U.S. are innocent. In California alone, that’s about 4,000 innocent lives behind bars.
