By Jason Flom| Rolling Stone Verified On the night of January 24, 2023, in Mississippi, six members of the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office kicked in the front door of a house without a warrant. For an hour and a half, these Mississippi officers — members of the self-named Goon Squad — tortured two Black men, Eddie Parker and Michael Jenkins. These officers used stun guns on the men repeatedly while yelling racial slurs. They beat them with their fists and batons, and abused them with a sex toy.

Wrongful Conviction
The Innocence Project is a nonprofit organization focused on criminal justice reform through DNA exoneration and systemic advocacy. Founded in 1992 by attorneys Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck, it aims to address wrongful convictions and promote equitable legal practices. The organization emphasizes post-conviction DNA testing to overturn wrongful convictions, particularly in cases with available biological evidence. The Innocence Project provides pro bono legal representation for wrongfully convicted individuals, advocates for policy reforms to prevent wrongful convictions, and collaborates with law schools to promote best practices in criminal justice. It also supports exonerees by offering resources to help them rebuild their lives. The organization produces research publications and educational materials to inform the legal community and the public about criminal justice reform. With a strong focus on advocacy, it has contributed to over 3,400 exonerations nationwide and has influenced significant legal precedents and discussions around capital punishment.
