Mission

WASHINGTON INNOCENCE PROJECT (WASHIP) WORKS TO FREE INNOCENT WASHINGTON STATE PRISONERS, IMPROVE OUR CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY, AND SUPPORT THE WRONGLY CONVICTED IN WASHINGTON STATE AS THEY REBUILD THEIR LIVES IN FREEDOM.

  • DIRECT CLIENT REPRESENTATION. WASHIPS DIRECT CLIENT REPRESENTATION HAS BEEN STEADILY RETURNING TO PRE-COVID 19 LEVELS AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS OF TIME IN CASES ARE BEARING RESULTS. WE SUCCESSFULLY LITIGATED A MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL BASED ON A WITNESS RECANTATION FOR OUR CLIENT RANDY HENDERSON, WHO WAS RELEASED FROM CUSTODY IN SEPTEMBER 2022. SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS WAS MADE ON DNA CASES THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WASHINGTON STATE PATROL CRIME LAB.

    Expenses $306,170

  • EDUCATION & POLICY REFORM. A BILL TO BAN DECEPTION DURING INTERROGATION WAS DISCUSSED EXTENSIVELY WITH STAKEHOLDERS, AND OUR ORGANIZATION WAS ASKED TO TESTIFY TO THE INNOCENCE PERSPECTIVE ON NUMEROUS CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM REFORM BILLS. WE HOSTED A COMMUNITY EDUCATION EVENT AT TOWN HALL SEATTLE THAT DISCUSSED THE POWER OF PROSECUTORS AND THEIR ROLE IN BOTH CONTRIBUTING TO (VIA CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS) AND CORRECTING (VIA EXERCISE OF THEIR BROAD DISCRETION) WRONGFUL CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IN WASHINGTON STATE. TRAINING WITH THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE BAR RELATED TO EYEWITNESS IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES WAS ALSO CONDUCTED BY STAFF.

    Expenses $214,319

  • POST-RELEASE CLIENT SUPPORT. FOLLOWING RANDY HENDERSONS RELEASE, STAFF WORKED WITH HIS FAMILY TO EASE HIS INTEGRATION INTO FREEDOM FOLLOWING 27 YEARS OF INCARCERATION. SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER SUPPORT TO ASSIST HIM IN CONNECTING WITH FAMILY, RETRIEVING HIS PERSONAL ITEMS FROM THE JAIL AND PRISON, SECURING STATE-ISSUED NON-PRISON IDENTIFICATION, RECEIVING AND CASHING THE CHECK FROM THE PENITENTIARY THAT WAS HELD IN HIS ACCOUNT THERE WERE ALL DONE THROUGHOUT THE FALL OF 2022. RANDY WAS ABLE TO JOIN US FOR COMMUNITY GATHERINGS AND BEGAN THE PROCESS OF INTEGRATING INTO OUR FREED AND EXONERATED FAMILY.

    Expenses $91,851

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
