Healing Justice, an organization dedicated to addressing harm caused by wrongful convictions, released a web-based resource portal for victims and survivors of crime who are impacted and revictimtized by post-conviction claims of innocence and exonerations. The portal is also meant to be a resource for prosecutors, law enforcement, and victim advocates who are involved with these cases so that they can take a victim-centered and trauma-informed approach to ensuring that crime victims are notified of and updated on post-conviction processes.

This portal, Post-Conviction Survivor Resources, is a part of the Responding to Original Victims in Wrongful Conviction Cases project, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime.

In this episode of Legal Briefs, NDAA speaks with Healing Justice’s Katie Monroe, Executive Director, and Kristina (Kris) Rose, Director of Strategic Partnerships—both were instrumental in the efforts of this important project.
