The organization created in 1992 to reexamine post-conviction cases is known as what?

• A. The Innocence Project
• B. The Forensic Science Foundation
• C. The Crime Scene Investigation Board
• D. The Evidence Preservation Alliance

Answer: (A)

The focus is on an organization known for reexamining cases after conviction using DNA evidence to uncover wrongful convictions. That describes The Innocence Project, which was founded in 1992 at Cardozo School of Law by Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld. Its mission is to revisit post-conviction cases, apply DNA testing when available, and exonerate those wrongly convicted while advocating for reforms to prevent future injustices. The other options don’t fit this specific purpose or founding year, so they aren’t the organization this item refers to.
