In "A Battle is Won, But the Fight Continues," Johnnie talks about how he brought together the people and organizations that eventually helped him win his parole after spending 30 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.


You can watch the rest of Johnnie's four-part interview on his YouTube channel.

Though Johnnie is free today, his fight is not over.  

The State of Illinois still considers Johnnie a murderer, and yet refuses to test the DNA on the evidence that was used to convict him.  A DNA test could not only help establish Johnnie's innocence, but it could also point to the identity of the real killer.

Because Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions has offered to pay for the testing, Illinois has nothing to lose here--except the cowardly lies and false excuses that imprisoned an innocent man.

You can help Johnnie win this fight today.  Join the growing list of Johnnie's allies, which includes the late Justice Prentice Marshall, The Innocence Project, the law firm of Jenner & Block, the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted, Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions, and many others.
