TWO CASES. TWO VERY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES. Alex Murdaugh was granted a new trial after a court found that allegations of jury tampering required further review. Now ask yourself this: Why are similar concerns treated so differently in other cases? In the case of Markale Lundy, these are so

This is where it all started. Rebecca Wall has become like family, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything she’s doing. She is making a difference not only in Ohio, but around the world by bringing attention to wrongful convictions and giving hope to those who have been forgotten. If y

A MESSAGE FROM MARKALE Fourteen years ago, on this very day, around this very time, I was falsely arrested. What followed was, in my view, a malicious prosecution, a wrongful conviction, and years of living with the consequences of a system that got it wrong. I thought I would have something

A Message from Mama Bear Hey, Bear Babies, Anyone who knows me knows I’m outspoken—to say the least. This journey has taught me something I never wanted to learn: life isn’t always fair. Some people will sit back and watch injustice unfold without saying a word. Others will stand up, fight

#CapCut I believe every conviction should be built on reliable evidence, not assumptions or incomplete information. When scientific evidence changes or significant errors come to light, the legal system should have a meaningful process to review those cases. That is not about being “soft

INCARCERATED FOURTEEN YEARS LATER. The jury heard DNA testimony that helped connect Markale Lundy to this crime. But the defense’s own DNA expert reviewed the laboratory records and reached a dramatically different conclusion. The Columbus Police Crime Laboratory issued two reports, dated Februar
