Please read Johnnie's words and take action by signing his petition.
I was imprisoned for 30 years--which is approximately 11 thousand days--in Illinois for a crime I did not commit. Illinois has refused to test evidence in my case for DNA that could not only establish my innocence, but also point to the real murderer.
We have assembled a petition with a goal of collecting 11,000 signatures, one signature for every day I was wrongfully incarcerated. After we collect these signatures, we will take this petition to Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn and request that he order DNA testing in my case, which will be paid for by the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law.
Johnnie's been seeking DNA testing for long time, but the State of Illinois keeps ignoring tests that will not only exonerate him, but likely reveal the actual perpetrator of a double-murder. Watch the video below to learn a few details about Johnnie's case. Note that since the video was made, Illinois now has a new Governor, Patrick Quinn. He's the person who now has the responsibility to take up what the former discredited Illinois governor failed to do.
