The Innocence Project [SEP] original network
The Innocence Project
The Innocence Project is a television drama series created by BBC Northern Ireland and first broadcast on BBC One on 9 November 2006.
The series follows the work of Professor Jon Ford (Lloyd Owen), who sets up "The Innocence Project", peopled entirely by a hand-picked group of law students. They take on cases pro bono that no-one else will handle, or those that have been forgotten or given up on, working for clients that would otherwise have no hope, and
his conviction. The Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project (MAIP), a subset of the Innocence Network, picked up Johnson's case and began re-investigating. This process found new eyewitnesses that had originally not been interviewed or seen as important. The MAIP team also re-tested physical evidence used in the original case and visited the crime scene multiple times.
A joint motion was filed in 2016 by the State Attorney's Office Chief of Conviction Integrity Unit Lauren Lipscomb, Attorney David Benowitz, and the MAIP. Judge
