Today in 1992, David Milgaard is released from prison after spending 23 years there for a crime he didn't commit.
In 1997, DNA evidence confirms he was innocent.
He spends the rest of his life as a community support worker in Alberta before passing away in May 2022.

Last week, listening to The Tragically Hip’s “Wheat Kings” inspired by David Milgaard. When we met in 2019, David signed my copy. I told him that I would reform the wrongful conviction process, so no one would ever go through what he did. I hope I lived up to that promise.

For 23 years, David Milgaard was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, because of a wrongful conviction. Alongside his sister Susan & James Lockyer, we tabled David & Joyce Milgaard’s Law, establishing an Independent Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission.

A facial recognition tool identified a Black man as a suspect in a theft in Louisiana. He was arrested 3 states and 7 hours away from the scene of the crime and spent a week in jail.
But there’s a big problem: The man has never been to Louisiana

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at a high school in Arkansas turned the district budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to increase teacher salaries.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

High profile wrongful convictions such as this show us how prevalent this kind of injustice is in our society. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

$116,000 per year is what it costs to keep someone locked up in a Canadian prison (2016). $4.6 Billion is spent annually to operate Corrections Canada.
