The Wrongful Conviction Initiative (WCI) was born from the determination of a man behind bars: Andrew Kizer, author of the legal guide "Texas Writ of Habeas Corpus: 11.073." From a prison cell, Kizer mapped out the complex intersection between bad science and broken justice—and wrote a book that gave countless incarcerated individuals hope, direction, and power over their cases.
Now, with his second book underway—focused on Chapter 64 DNA testing—Kizer continues to shine a light on how outdated laws and misunderstood forensic methods have led to devastating wrongful convictions across Texas and beyond.
WCI is the next step in that fight.
We are a nonprofit that leverages the power of artificial intelligence and legal technology to uncover wrongful convictions—especially those rooted in faulty or junk science. We scan and digitize court records using secure OCR systems and apply advanced machine learning to flag cases where unreliable forensic testimony, procedural error, or scientific misconduct may have influenced the outcome.
But we don’t stop at algorithms. Every flagged case is reviewed in collaboration with attorneys, forensic experts, and ethics advisors to ensure thoughtful, actionable results. We believe that technology should serve truth—and every person deserves justice that evolves with the science.
WCI is building the future of legal advocacy—where data empowers the defenseless, and forgotten files are turned into tools for freedom.
Join us in reexamining the evidence. Reimagine what justice can be.
