Testing that is currently ongoing may provide conclusive evidence that the biological evidence used to convict Daniel was inconclusive at best.

In 2012, Proclaim Justice became aware of Daniel’s case and, after researching it, became convinced of his innocence. We are currently working with Daniel and his defense team to develop the most effective way to bring awareness to his case and ultimately to win his freedom. Please check back in for updates concerning his case, and, when appropriate, calls to action.

Tim Howard was sentenced to death for the 1998 murders in Ashdown, AR of Brian Day, his best friend, and Day’s wife Shannon Day, who was also a close friend.

When the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed Howard’s conviction, the three dissenting judges wrote that they did not find sufficient evidence even to convict Howard — let alone to sentence him to death.

(Little Rock, AR-December 13, 2012) On Thursday, December 13, 2012 Jason Baldwin and John Hardin announced the launch of Proclaim Justice, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for those who are currently incarcerated for crimes they did not commit.

Jason, one of the men known as the West Memphis 3 (WM3), spent eighteen years in prison for a crime he did not commit. John, who has years of experience in political and public affairs communications, played an important role in bringing media and public attention to the WM3 case.

Investigations into who actually committed the crime are ongoing. Anyone with knowledge of the crime is encouraged the confidential tip line at 501.256.1775. There is also a $200,000 reward being offered to anyone who has new information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the actual murderer(s). Additionally, there is an ongoing public campaign to bring awareness to the case and pressure Arkansas officials to reopen it. To learn more about those efforts visit www.freewestmemphis3.org or www.wm3.org. While we are grateful they are free, we will not rest until Jason, Jessie and Damien are exonerated.
