Unjustly Accused publishes reporting and analysis about wrongful convictions, disputed evidence, forensic science, and accountability in the criminal justice system.
Our purpose
We examine how criminal cases are investigated, how evidence is interpreted, and what happens when a conviction or official account is challenged. Our coverage includes appeals, exonerations, forensic disputes, disclosure of evidence, and the consequences of wrongful convictions.
Our aim is to make complex case histories and evidence understandable while distinguishing established facts, allegations, analysis, and unresolved questions. A person’s legal status and the limits of the available evidence matter.
Our publication and anonymous byline
This website is published under the name Unjustly Accused. Contributors publish under the publication’s name to protect their safety and personal identities. The byline “Unjustly Accused” identifies the publication’s responsibility for the article.
Unjustly Accused accepts editorial responsibility for the material it publishes. Protecting contributors’ identities does not reduce our responsibility to support factual claims and correct errors. Our organizational byline does not imply that every contributor has legal or scientific credentials.
How readers can assess our work
Articles should identify the records and reporting on which they rely, explain significant uncertainty, and distinguish a party’s claim from a court’s finding. Readers should be able to follow source links and understand what those sources support. The requirements for sourcing, quotations, fairness, conflicts, and updates appear in our Editorial Standards & Anonymous Authorship policy.
Corrections, responses, and story ideas
To challenge an assertion, provide evidence, or respond to coverage, use our editorial contact form. Include the article URL and the specific issue. Our Corrections Policy explains how material changes should be documented.
