Dedicated Civil Rights Lawyers Help Exonerated Individuals Seek Justice in Cases Involving All Causes of Wrongful Convictions
Various studies have estimated the rate of wrongful convictions in the U.S. to range somewhere between two and 10 percent of all convictions. Given the U.S.’s total prison population of over two million individuals, that means there could be tens or hundreds of thousands of people sitting in jails and prisons for crimes they did not commit. There are multiple reasons why so many innocent people are convicted despite evidence later coming to light that fully exonerates them for those crimes. However, some causes of wrongful conviction more frequently come up in cases of exonerations.
If you have been exonerated from a wrongful conviction, the attorneys of Marrone Law Firm, LLC may be able to help you pursue a claim for accountability and justice against the government officials whose misconduct led to you being accused and convicted of a crime you did not commit.

Some of the most frequent causes of wrongful convictions that may give rise to civil claims brought by defendants who are later exonerated from their wrongful convictions include:
Other non-misconduct causes of wrongful convictions include:
Sometimes, wrongful convictions occur because of honest mistakes by investigators, prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, and jurors who are legitimately trying to arrive at the correct result in a trial. But causes of wrongful convictions that involve misconduct by police or prosecutors or other government officials should result in the exonerated victim of the wrongful conviction being able to seek accountability and justice. No amount of money will give you the years you spent behind bars or your reputation back. But a civil claim for compensation when you have suffered a wrongful conviction due to bad acts can provide you with some justice for the harm you have suffered. Let our experienced Philadelphia attorneys go to work fighting to help you recover after being exonerated for a crime that you were wrongfully convicted for.
