Witness to Innocence, Kirk Bloodsworth

Monday, 11 June, 2012

Mr. Bloodsworth is a former Marine who was convicted of first degree premeditated murder and sentenced to death in 1984. Mr. Bloodsworth’s case was the first Capital conviction overturned as a result of DNA testing in the United States. He served 9 years in prison and after numerous appeals and after DNA testing in the case, it was determined in 1993 that his DNA did not match what was found at the crime scene and he was finally released as a result. Currently, Mr. Bloodsworth has served as a program officer for the Justice Project and the Justice Project Education Fund and is now active with WitnesstoInnocence.org, an National Organization of exonerated death row survivors and their loved ones.
