The organizations working to overturn them have long operated with limited resources, reviewing thousands of pages by hand. Mike Semanchik of the Innocence Center and exoneree and practicing attorney Marty Tankleff join Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio, to discuss how legal technology is reshaping case review and what it means for the people still waiting for an answer.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-post__intro h5\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Mike Semanchik was assigned his first wrongful conviction case in 2008, the work looked exactly as it had for decades. Thirty banker\u2019s boxes. Thousands of pages. One reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTake every piece of paper and read it one by one. That\u2019s literally how I started this,\u201d he recalls. \u201cWhat a tedious and impossible job. And keep in mind, that\u2019s one case of the 10 that as a student I had assigned to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly 20 years later, Mike is the executive director of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theinnocencecenter.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Innocence Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in San Diego, and the process looks fundamentally different. Legal technology has changed what the first read looks like. And that change ripples outward: into how many cases get reviewed, and how many people waiting on the other side of those files finally get an answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio, recently sat down with Mike and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/faculty\/martin-tankleff\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marty Tankleff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who spent nearly 18 years in prison for a crime he didn\u2019t commit and is now a practicing attorney and co-founder of Georgetown\u2019s Making an Exoneree program. Both spoke candidly about a field long constrained by limited resources, and what becomes possible when legal technology meets decades of dedication to getting wrongful convictions overturned.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o-image l-image c-post--mobile-thumbnail \" style=\"max-width: 46.875rem;  \">\n<div class=\"o-image__wrap l-image__wrap js-lazy-image-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<noscript><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Wrongful Convictions Exonerations\" alt=\"How Legal Technology is Changing the Path to Exoneration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-750x422.png\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-750x422.webp 1x, https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-1500x844.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Wrongful Convictions Exonerations\" alt=\"How Legal Technology is Changing the Path to Exoneration\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-750x422.png\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP\/\/\/wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==\" class=\"is-lazy js-lazy-image\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-750x422.png 1x, https:\/\/www.clio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wrongful-Convictions-Exonerations-1500x844.png 2x\"\/>\n\t\t<\/picture>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"section-0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">The reality of wrongful conviction cases<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/exonerationregistry.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Registry of Exonerations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has documented nearly 4,000 wrongful convictions in the United States since 1989. That figure includes only cases that resulted in exoneration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The early wave of innocence work was anchored in DNA. Test the evidence, get a result that points elsewhere, bring the person home. But DNA exposed something beyond individual cases. Systemic failures that nobody had been tracking, from unreliable science to false confessions to eyewitness misidentification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the vast majority of identified wrongful convictions are non-DNA cases. Exoneration requires full reinvestigation. Locating witnesses, reconstructing timelines, surfacing details buried in decades-old files. That takes time and resources most innocence organizations don\u2019t have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a never-ending number of clients looking for assistance,\u201d Mike says, and only a few people to do the work.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Legal Technology Is Helping Overturn Wrongful Convictions\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lqsXoeNlN8k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">The case review process, reimagined<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most of the history of innocence work, reviewing a case meant reading every police report, every witness statement, and every page of trial transcript, without knowing in advance which detail would matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal technology has changed that premise. Tools that can process thousands of pages and identify patterns, names, inconsistencies, and overlooked details are giving innocence lawyers a capability they have never had before, the ability to know where to look before committing weeks of work to a case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAI has been really good at taking a massive amount of information and distilling it down to some of the things that we should be looking for,\u201d Mike explains. \u201cIt\u2019s gone from reading 10 banker\u2019s boxes to, in a matter of minutes, it\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, you should actually take a look at this single eyewitness identification that was made in this case and see if there\u2019s something wrong with it.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marty sees the same potential at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/makinganexoneree.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making an Exoneree<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where Georgetown undergraduates investigate real wrongful conviction cases. Last year, his students manually reviewed 450 cases. Technology, he believes, changes what that number could become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you read the same documents over and over again, you keep missing the same thing because your brain is just processing the same information over and over,\u201d Marty says. \u201cWith AI, it\u2019s able to isolate that and take that away from us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The implications extend beyond efficiency. Technology surfaces what human readers, fatigued by repetition, might otherwise miss. For innocence organizations operating at capacity, that means cases get reviewed faster and more thoroughly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">What it looks like from the inside<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marty\u2019s own case illustrates what is at stake on the other side of those case files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On September 7, 1988, he woke up to find his mother had been murdered and his father clinging to life. Police arrested him almost immediately. During an interrogation that was never recorded, detectives told him his father had regained consciousness and named him as the attacker. That wasn\u2019t true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was convicted in 1990 and sentenced to 50 years to life. Over the next 18 years, he appealed through every available channel. New witnesses came forward. His legal team brought fresh information to the DA\u2019s office and continued to build the case for his innocence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marty was exonerated on December 27, 2007. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree, then a law degree, and became a practicing attorney. That experience gave him a perspective on the system that few practitioners share, and a clear sense of what needs to change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Making an Exoneree<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, Marty\u2019s childhood friend, Mark Howard, proposed the idea of the two of them teaching a class at Georgetown University called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/makinganexoneree.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making an Exoneree<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where undergraduate students investigate real wrongful conviction cases. The program is now expanding to five undergraduate universities and one law school. Student investigations have contributed to 13 exonerations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhere would 13 innocent people be right now if I hadn\u2019t gone to prison, if Mark and I hadn\u2019t created Making an Exoneree?\u201d Tankleff says. \u201cThey may all still be in prison.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the students who come through the program intend to become prosecutors. Marty sees that as an opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI instill in them the power that they have, the damage that they can do, and the changes that they can make in the system for the good,\u201d he says. \u201cThey want to become ethical prosecutors because they understand, because they got to meet me, they got to meet other individuals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Momentum, built case by case<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pace of exonerations is accelerating. When Mike started this work, a new exoneration was a weekly event. Now it happens daily. More resources are flowing into innocence organizations. The tools are getting better. And the institutions that shape how justice is administered are increasingly engaging with the people this work is designed to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marty recently appeared alongside another exoneree at a continuing legal education program with a sitting federal judge. \u201cWhen the federal judiciary is actually having CLEs with two exonerees,\u201d he says, \u201cwe\u2019re making a huge impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mike, legal technology is central to sustaining that momentum, giving small teams the ability to operate at the scale the work has always demanded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat really excites me is that there are companies like Clio and others that are using technology for good,\u201d Mike says, \u201cmaking it possible so that the work that we\u2019re doing can be done even faster and better than before. The casework should get significantly easier. We\u2019re going to be able to move through cases significantly faster. It means people are going to spend fewer days in prison for crimes they didn\u2019t commit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The work that remains is substantial. But so, increasingly, is the capacity to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-post--blog-subscription\">\n<section class=\"o-theme--bone u-padding-top-xl u-padding-bottom-xl\">\n<div class=\"o-form--marketo l-form--marketo js-marketo-form l-form-blog-sub-shortcode l-form-blog-sub-shortcode--light \" data-form-id=\"2634\" data-form-ids=\"\" data-is-kiosk-mode=\"\" data-is-multi-step-form=\"\" data-is-debug-mode=\"\" data-cookie=\"\" data-next-form-id=\"\" data-zoom-info-form-complete=\"\" data-followup-url=\"\" data-followup-url-target=\"\" data-followup-cta=\"\" data-thank-you-message=\"You're on the list!
