INNOCENT OR GUILTY, THERE’S NOTHING IN BETWEEN

Take a moment and think about that time when someone accused you of saying or doing something that you did not do AND no one will believe you! For those who have been wrongfully convicted and locked up behind the wall the emotional torture of knowing you are innocent is unimaginable.  But if you are fortunate to connect with Mike Semanchik, Executive Director of the San Diego, California, Innocence Center, and he and his team research your case and confirm that you were in fact wrongly convicted, well then, you’re in great luck that you might finally be exonerated.  Visit the Innocence Center dot org to learn more!
