We have incredible news to share: Danny Davis returned home Tuesday after serving more than 32 years in prison for a crime that DNA evidence proves he did not commit.

At the time of his conviction, Danny was only 20 years old. Now 52, ​​Danny was released from prison on Tuesday, November 12, and reunited with his family.

Today, we celebrate Danny’s return home after more than three decades behind bars. During the car ride home, Danny shared with his lawyers that he hopes other wrongfully convicted people will see him and know to keep fighting. Danny is represented by Illinois Innocence Project attorneys Lauren Kaeseberg and Maria de Arteaga, Innocence Project attorney Vanessa Potkin, and Exonération Project attorneys Lauren Myerscough-Mueller and Karl Leonard.
