Deondre Staten

Deondre Staten sentenced to death at 23 for allegedly killing his parents when there was no evidence against him. We are retesting the DNA which could clear his name and has been ignored for over 28 years.

Derek Robinson

Derek Robinson is currently serving a term of life without the possibility of parole. Through his family’s tireless and dedicated research, Innocence OC has been made aware that the investigating officers allegedly coerced information from intimidated witnesses in order to wrongly portray Mr. Robinson as a guilty man. In July 2026, the Los Angeles Superior Court ordered an order to show cause why Derek should not be released from prison. We are waiting on the District Attorneys response and hoping for Derek’s release after almost 30 years in prison.
