Overview

• Darien Harris was convicted in 2014 for a 2011 murder based largely on testimony from a legally blind eyewitness.
• Harris was exonerated in December 2023 after evidence showed the witness lied about his vision impairment.
• A federal civil rights lawsuit alleges police fabricated evidence and coerced witnesses in Harris' case.
• Harris, now 31, struggles to rebuild his life post-exoneration, facing employment and educational barriers.
• The Exoneration Project has played a key role in overturning Harris' conviction and aiding other wrongful conviction cases.
