IRS990/Desc0Direct Client Representation. Emerging from the global COVID-19 pandemic, our direct client representation picked up dramatic steam as courts reopened. Our client Ken Hovland was released after 40 years of wrongful incarceration in October 2021. We continue to adjust our litigation strategy to attempt to preserve the health of our clients and advocate for their release. We continued our highly successful and innovative partnership with the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab to process post-conviction DNA testing requests on behalf of Washington State prisoners. Numerous motions were filed and requests for DNA testing secured.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Education and Policy Reform. For many years WashIP has been working with policymakers to understand the importance of recording custodial interrogations, given that false confessions are a significant contributing factor for wrongful convictions. WashIP staff provided extensive background information upon request to policymakers requesting information related to the recording of interrogations. A state law was passed mandating the process and goes into effect in January 2022.
