Our Team

We are a team of three undergraduate Georgetown students fighting for justice.

Joining our two professors, Dr. Marc Howard and Marty Tankleff, we are working alongside world-class experts
and Georgetown students to build a case to exonerate a wrongfully convicted individual.

Making an Exoneree is an extraordinary and unprecedented program. Every spring semester since 2018, a group of highly motivated Georgetown University undergraduate students reinvestigate likely wrongful conviction cases, produce short documentaries that suggest innocence, and create social media campaigns calling for exonerations.
