The Wrongful Conviction Initiative (WCI) was conceived through the determination of Andrew Kizer—author of Texas Writ of Habeas Corpus: 11.073, currently publishing Texas Post-Conviction DNA Testing, and writing 4 Fences: Life Without Parole — How Texas Built Prisons With No Keys.
From within prison walls, Kizer began mapping the intersection of flawed forensic practices and systemic legal failures—exposing how bad science and outdated legal frameworks have fueled wrongful convictions. His body of work documents, in practical and investigative detail, how the justice system too often fails to evolve with scientific understanding.
WCI is the next step in that mission.
Currently in development, WCI is envisioned as a nonprofit organization that will harness artificial intelligence and advanced legal technology to identify and challenge wrongful convictions—particularly those rooted in faulty or discredited science. Using secure OCR systems, the project will digitize court records and apply sophisticated machine learning models to detect cases involving unreliable forensic testimony, or scientific misconduct.
The concept goes beyond algorithms. Every flagged case will be reviewed in collaboration with attorneys, forensic scientists, and ethics experts to ensure findings are both accurate and actionable. The vision is clear: technology in service of truth, and justice that evolves alongside science.
WCI aims to build the future of legal advocacy—where data empowers the vulnerable, and forgotten case files become tools for freedom.
