A Final Chance for Justice

In 1985, eight men were convicted of the brutal murder of their neighbor.  Collectively, they have spent over 250 years in prison.  But they are innocent. The evidence now makes clear that another man carried out this awful crime.

Now, the six surviving men—Chris, Cliff, Charles, Levy, Russell, and Tim— have finally been released from prison.  But they still wrongfully bear the burden of this horrible crime.  They are applying for presidential pardons. They are asking President Biden to remedy this injustice.
