After 27 years of incarceration for a crime he did not commit, KWIP client Stephen Martinez will be freed following the overturning of his wrongful conviction.
This outcome reflects years of advocacy, investigation, and persistence and Stephen’s own resilience through decades of injustice.
The court’s ruling follows years of extensive investigation and advocacy led by KWIP at the University of Colorado Law School with support from Stinson LLP, including Perry Glantz and Judith Araujo, along with Seth Temin. The Denver District Attorney's Conviction Review Unit also conducted their own thorough investigation and agreed to vacate Mr. Martinez's conviction.
