Honoring Dave Keaton on Wrongful Conviction Day



Legacy. Dignity. Resilience. That sums up Dave Keaton (1952-2015).

That is also the theme of this year's Wrongful Conviction Day.


Dave was the 1st person to be exonerated from death row.

He was a victim of police misconduct.

He was a poet.


This Wrongful Conviction Day we honor his:

leg·a·cy

the long lasting impact of a person's life

dig·ni·ty

self- respect; worthy of honor

re·sil·ience

the capacity to withstand difficulties; toughness


Will you join us in remembering Dave and the 193 death row exonerees who came after him?


Will you DONATE today to support the work of death row exonerees?
