The Innocence Project of Pennsylvania Opens Today

PHILADELPHIA - A nationwide organization that has worked to exonerate hundreds of wrongfully convicted inmates has a new affiliate housed at Temple University.

The Pennsylvania Innocence Project, based at Temple University's law school, opens its doors Monday and will review petitions submitted from around the state by inmates who say they are serving time for crimes they did not commit.

"Even before our doors are open ... we're getting letters every week from (Pennsylvania) inmates," executive director Richard Glazer said.
