Definition
An Innocence Commission, often inspired by or affiliated with initiatives like the Innocence Project, is an organized body that investigates claims of wrongful convictions with the aim of exonerating individuals who have been unjustly imprisoned. These commissions often utilize new evidence, such as DNA testing, to re-examine cases where there might have been miscarriages of justice, and they advocate for legal reforms to prevent future wrongful convictions.
