We are hosting a fundraiser at this year’s Maggotfest to support our summer journalism internship program. The fundraiser is in memory of Spencer Veysey who was a prominent member of Missoula’s rugby community, and an investigative journalist for MTIP. Spencer, who began his tenure with MTIP as an investigative journalism student, was instrumental in freeing seven innocent people from wrongful incarceration. All donations will directly support the work of MTIP’s summer journalism intern. Go to the link in our bio to learn more!

Montana Innocence Project freed client Cody Marble became the first person to file for exoneree compensation under House Bill 92 last September. This law was meant to assist exonerees in rebuilding their lives after experiencing unimaginable injustices, but as Cody puts it, those tasked with carrying out the law “have done everything possible to defy every legislative intent.” Read more at the link in our bio.

On Mother’s Day, Montana Innocence Project Legal Director, Caiti Carpenter, reflects on how becoming a mom made her a more fierce advocate for the wrongfully convicted. View the full interview at the link in our bio. Happy Mother’s Day!
