Submit your Case to Innocence Project Delaware
Innocence Project Delaware provides free legal assistance in cases of actual innocence. We only consider cases where a person is wrongfully convicted of a crime with which they had no involvement. Because our resources are limited, we can only focus on cases where innocence can be proven through new evidence. In order to be considered, you must be:
Wrongly convicted of a state or federal crime in the State of Delaware
unable to afford counsel
finished with your trial and direct appeal
innocent of the crimes for which you are convicted. We cannot accept your case if you played any role in the crime, even a minor one. We do not take cases where you acknowledged participating in the offense, such as in cases alleging consensual sex, self-defense, or accidental death.
In order for Innocence Project Delaware to review your case, you must complete a case screening application and submit certain documentation.
How to Help?
Delaware is a small state with a big wrongful conviction problem. Innocence Project Delaware is looking to change that.
