In 2005, when our organization was still operating under the name INNOCENT! and our caseload was nationwide, we received a letter from a New York state prisoner. In it, he asked us to look at the case of Norman who, he claimed, was innocent...and the reason he knew Norman was innocent was because he was the one who actually committed the crime. After we called attention to the case, a midwest innocence agency started on the case, and then suggested that Norman go to an Innocence Project nearer to him in the east. That was in 2005, and even though we have now limited our work to the State of Michigan, we have remained in contact with Norman, who is still in prison. Last week HFP received this message from him:
Listen, I have an update for you. The actual killer that committed this crime has just been released from prison. Isn't that something? I go before the Parole Board next week, and watch them keep me in prison while they released a guilty killer.
