OUR STORY

Built From the Inside Out.

WCI was conceived not in a law office or a lab — but from within the prison system itself.

The Wrongful Conviction Initiative

Andrew Kizer didn't find this mission in a law office or a research lab. He found it from the inside — mapping the failures of the justice system while living inside one of its outcomes.

From within prison walls, Kizer authored two legal reference works that have become resources for post-conviction advocates across Texas: Texas Writ of Habeas Corpus: 11.073 and Texas Post-Conviction DNA Testing. Through that work, a pattern became undeniable: case after case built on forensic methods that science had already discredited. Convictions that survived not because of evidence — but because the system had no mechanism to look back.

WCI is the answer to that gap. Using AI, secure OCR digitization, and structured forensic analysis, WCI identifies the cases where science and justice have diverged — and generates the documentation needed to reopen them. Every case reviewed by qualified human experts before any finding is finalized.

This is not a project built from the outside looking in. It is built from lived experience, legal scholarship, and one persistent belief: that the truth, properly examined, still has the power to set people free.

"Technology in service of truth. Justice that evolves alongside science."
