HOPE FOR WRONGFULLY CONVICTED

Posted by: Justice On Trial

Justice On Trial a nationally known non-profit advocacy for the wrongfully accused has been approved by American Express' Members Project for possible funding to assit in the work this organization has been doing since April of 2002.

Once convicted, there is little hope for the wrongfully accused to ever prove their innocence, in spite of often overwhelming evidence confirming it. With an estimated 150,000 to 250,000 innocents in our jails and prisons (see The Innocence Project) the work done by Justice On Trial and other organizations like us is the only hope for most of those wrongly accused/convicted. The American appeal process is prosecution oriented (read John Grisham’s “The Innocent Man”) click on this link and hear what the famous attorney/author says about the problem in America today. Those people who do not have an advocate have little hope of ever proving their innocence.

If you feel what Justice On Trial has done, and proposes TO do, is worthwhile, please click on the red link below, nominate us for funding from AMEX for our project and, if so inclined, make an anonymous comment. The funds have nothing whatever to do with your own AMEX account, you are completely anonymous.

Since April of 2002, Justice On Trial, a non-profit advocacy organization for the wrongfully accused, has been working on several cases of persons wrongfully accused.

Funding for our work has come from supporters of those wrongfully accused and Justice On Trial. Over the last 7 years, we have applied for various grants and to many philanthropic organizations for funding, unsuccessfully. Most recently, the Justice On Trial Project has been submitted and was just approved for nomination for funding/promotion by American Express as part of their Members Project program. This is a highly successful program of philanthropy for worthy projects. AMEX makes determinations of the worthiness/credibility of the project through its own panel and based on nominations and comments by visitors to the Members Project website.

If you believe the work Justice On Trial has accomplished was beneficial and that continuation of Justice On Trial’s advocacy of the wrongfully accused is worthwhile, we need your help by visiting the Members Project website, reviewing the outline of our project, the impact we expect to have on the pervasive problem of wrongful convictions in this country and, should you feel it is worthy of funding, nominate Justice On Trial for eligibility.

You may also make suggestions or offer comments about Justice On Trial and/or this problem with the justice system that it is our goal to suggest legislation to lawmakers that will help avoid the current high percentage of wrongful convictions. Also, many other worthy projects are listed for your review. Please click on this link Members Project website
