A new Kansas City Star opinion calls on Wyandotte County’s Conviction Integrity Unit to meaningfully review cases involving evidence of wrongful conviction and official misconduct.

Donnell Dobbs has been incarcerated for more than five years since his innocence evidence was presented to the CIU.

He is still waiting.

Release from prison is one moment. Reentry is the work that follows.

For someone returning after a wrongful conviction, ordinary tasks can become urgent: getting an ID, finding housing, seeing a doctor, learning new technology, and rebuilding relationships.

A fairer criminal legal system has to account for what freedom requires after the courtroom.

Join us on October 2 for our Reentry Simulation, an interactive opportunity to learn more about the barriers people face after incarceration and why meaningful support matters. Buy a ticket to learn, connect, and support this work: https://buff.ly/3NrP4PF

One of the most memorable scenes in My Cousin Vinny starts with a simple question:

"Are these magic grits?"

The joke isn't really about breakfast.

It's about slowing down and asking whether the facts actually make sense.

MIP attorneys and investigators don't begin with conclusions. They begin with questions, following the evidence wherever it leads.

If you love My Cousin Vinny, you're in luck. Join MIP for a special screening at Screenland Armour on September 27th!

Forensic science can be powerful evidence.

It is not magic, and it is not always conclusive.

During National Forensic Science Week, we are sharing a few things worth knowing about how forensic evidence is collected, tested, interpreted, and challenged.

The question is not whether science belongs in the courtroom. It does. The question is whether the methods used are reliable and properly applied.

Twenty-eight years.

That is how long Faye Jacobs spent in prison before regaining her freedom.

“If it were not for MIP, I truly believe I would still be in prison.”

Faye’s words are a reminder that this work begins with someone taking a claim of innocence seriously and staying with the case through the long road ahead.

Help MIP stay in that work.
