Join us in commemorating Wrongful Conviction Day with a special event presentation sponsored by the Center for Law Justice & Culture and The Ohio Innocence Project
Tuesday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m.
Admission is FREE and open to the public…Tickets are required for entry
We’re proud to partner with the CLJC and the OIP as they host an event featuring Richard and Janette Horton, joined by OHIO alumnus and Director of Policy and Engagement at the Ohio Innocence Project, Pierce Reed, Esq.
Richard Horton was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 23 years in prison for a home invasion, robbery, and shooting in Columbus that he did not commit. After serving 16 in prison, Mr. Horton was granted a new trial thanks to emerging DNA analysis technology. The Ohio Innocence Projects believes this to be the first instance where such evidence has led to the reversal of a conviction.
Mr. Horton will discuss his experience with wrongful conviction and his work with OIP to exonerate him. His wife, Janette will discuss the impact these cases have on those close to the accused.
The event is co-sponsored by the Ohio Innocence Project, Ohio University’s OIP-u, and Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity.
