| Description | Deirdre O’Connor: Deirdre O’Connor is an experienced trial lawyer with a proven track record in protecting the innocent. In 2010, she founded Innocence Matters, a nonprofit dedicated to helping those who have been wrongfully convicted. Prior to that, she worked as a Public Defender in Los Angeles, as the Clinic Director for the Indigent Criminal Defense Clinic at Emory Law School, and as a solo practitioner. She was one of the amicus attorneys for Troy Davis, a Georgia death row inmate who was ultimately executed despite compelling evidence of innocence. Deirdre has tried nearly 100 jury trials and over 100 juvenile adjudications. She is a Board Certified Criminal Trial Specialist and was the recipient of the 2015 California Attorneys of the Year Award for her work at Innocence Matters. Recent Victories Case Dismissed – Guilty Plea and Strike Conviction Vacated: Innocent single mother was falsely accused of strike offense and forced to fight her case from a jail cell. Desperate to be reunited with her daughter, she pled guilty. In 2017, Deirdre O’Connor’s investigation led the court to vacate the conviction and dismiss the case. 17-Year Incarceration Ends with Freedom and a Finding of Factual Innocence: Susan Mellen, a single mother of three, was falsely accused of a heinous murder she did not commit. Seventeen years later, during Deirdre O’Connor’s investigation, it was discovered that the sole witness was a pathological liar and the lead detective knew that in 1997. The court vacated the murder conviction and found Ms. Mellen factually innocent. 18-Year-Old Spent 19 Years Trying to Prove His Innocence Mattered: John Smith had just turned 18 a few months before the police arrested him for a murder they knew was based entirely on false evidence. Nineteen years later, the court granted the Habeas Petition filed by O’Connor; Smith’s conviction vacated and case dismissed. |
