Each case involved official misconduct, and in two cases post-conviction DNA testing identified the likely actual perpetrator. We also won a habeas corpus petition in another high profile GIP case. GIP represents 17 additional clients and responded to 315 requests for help during the year. GIP also provided direct support to 13 Georgia-based individuals who were freed and/or exonerated from wrongful conviction. Those services included assistance in employment, transportation, life skills, healthcare, technology, and engagement opportunities. GIP hosted 9 "Freedom Gatherings" for exonerees living in Georgia. GIP and partners helped secure compensation for exonerees and helped create standards for law enforcement to diligently investigate post-conviction evidence of innocence. We advanced our federal DOJ grants to screen cases and work collaboratively with prosecutors to investigate post-conviction innocence cases. We raised awareness through speaking engagements and podcasts, created a traveling exhibition, and educated over 3,000 students about wrongful conviction. 1060606 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X The Organization 4043734433 50 Hurt Plaza SE 350 Atlanta GA 30303 Michael Tyler Board Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Kenny Baer Immediate Past Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Mitchell Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Kenneth Brown Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cyntoria Johnson Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Wilensky Treasurer Finance Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jake Arbes Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Brickman Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Glenda Davis Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Llia Dichev Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Karl Douglas Dev Committee Chair 2.00 X 0 0 0 Faye Dresner Gov Committee Chair 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jimmie Gardner Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Gerwig Moore Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Halsey Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Holden Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Collier McRae Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanine Osbourne Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Parmer Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Seaman Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Clare Gilbert Executive Director 40.00 X 86049 0 0 86049 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 74498 1279939 1354437 Seminar Fees 611600 7446 7446 7446 448 448 1362331 7446 0 448 X 89900 89900 885088 780427 104661 50110 39555 10555 72151 63189 8962 34500 34500 20582 8582 12000 26174 20555 5619 29634 21040 5927 2667 87695 62263 17539 7893 31180 29901 1279 6548 4649 1310 589 Case Related Expenses 68729 68729 Exoneree Support 12172 12172 Processing Fees 9401 1134 8267 1423864 1060606 221728 141530 1274727 1085867 100000 13440 28857 59296 48106 12521 11190 1300688 1225914 63978 50737 63978 50737 X 1211710 1175177 25000 0 1236710 1175177 1300688 1225914 -61533 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 315913 764723 1295172 1377864 1354337 5108009 315913 764723 1295172 1377864 1354337 5108009 2253538 2854471 5108009 7446 0.55880 0.54540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 1 14433 1 14433 1 9433 38299 0 Part II-B, Line 1: During FY2022 GIP worked to raise awareness and advocate for reform around the financial consequences of wrongful conviction and the need for standardized and fair financial compensation for the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of innocent people. Georgia is one of only 12 states in the country without a statutory right to compensation for innocent exonerees. During the legislative session, GIP's Policy Specialist (40%), Executive Director (10%), and Communications Manager (10%) spent time helping to draft and promote statutory reform and private resolutions to fairly compensate exonerees, working with volunteers and lawmakers on the same. We created written materials for the public, media, and lawmakers and worked on a media campaign. 8923 8923 0 50373 39183 11190 11190 3224753 1862870 1862870 1361883 448 448 1362331 3286286 1862870 1862870 1423416 448 448 1423864 Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: Interest Income Netted Against Fees 448.
