Wrongful conviction cases are unique and require a different approach than a standard criminal defense case. Expertise is required when investigating appellate and post-conviction relief cases. Evidence, witnesses, and new leads can be more difficult to investigate as these cases are often nearly a decade or more old. We are highly skilled in the pursuit and analysis of exculpatory evidence, ineffective investigation, ineffective counsel, erroneous cross-racial identification, and additional leads to expose new evidence.
There are Innocence Project legal organizations throughout the country that work very effectively on wrongful conviction cases they take on. However, these organizations only accept cases where DNA can prove innocence. This is not the requirement with Prodigy Investigative Group. We realize there are many cases of wrongful convictions that do not contain DNA evidence. Although lack of DNA makes it more difficult to investigate a wrongful conviction to prove innocence, there is other exculpatory evidence that can be uncovered by knowledgeable and experienced investigators.
Prodigy Investigative Group has investigated over 50 cases of wrongful arrests and wrongful convictions. We thoroughly examine all case-related material, re-interview witnesses, search for witnesses who may not have been questioned and individuals who may have information about the case that has never been investigated. Witnesses are investigated for their accuracy in memory and credibility. Evidence is examined for its validity and new evidence is sought. We reconstruct the crime scene whenever possible. We will work closely with legal representatives to award the wrongfully convicted the chance to prove their innocence.
