1. Luke Ryan and @DanielNMarx really are that good.

2. The @ACLU poured ~7 years into overturning these wrongful convictions.
Credit goes to our amazing clients, to current & former @ACLU_Mass advocates (including @CvRose3, Adriana Lafaille, @Dan_McF, @carltonwilliams & @paw), plus ACLU attorney Emma Andersson. And many more!

3. The scandals never would have been “fixed’ without public defenders.
Advocates at @CPCSNews, like Nancy Caplan, Rebecca Jacobstein & Ben Keehn, did everything from argue huge cases to staff a hotline for Farak and Dookhan victims.

4. We created a “Mass Exoneration” legal model.
It wasn’t as simple as asking nicely. Advocates had to craft legal tools that made *prosecutors* responsible for wrongful convictions.
