Innocent
Innocence Project took on Archie’s case in 1996. They started making requests to get access to fingerprint evidence from the crime scene because the person who did all that Archie was accused of had left their fingerprints behind. The team knew at trial that those fingerprints didn’t belong to Archie.
In 1999 they made the first request to access the fingerprints and search for the real culprit in the database. It took the team 20 years to get that search. Right now, the laws are set against people who are convicted. So it’s tough for convicted people to get access to new evidence to prove it. So Archie, together with the Innocence Project, is working hard to change this and hopefully free more innocent people from wrongful incarcerations.
