Via Zoom

Date: Wednesday, 10/2, 9:00am-3:00pm

Every year, our criminal justice system puts innocent people behind bars. This injustice must be addressed, and the Ohio Innocence Project takes on this mission. On Wed., 10/2, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Diocese of Columbus, and ELCA Southern Ohio Synod will present a day on the work of the OIP, hearing from both the professionals who run the program as well as several exonerees. We will also hear a legislative update on several related bills and have a chance for conversation with the exonerees.

For more information, check out the event website or contact Andrew Musgrave. You can register here.
