The six columns on the far right of this page display separately the Contributing Factors that are listed together on the Summary Page. To save space, we use abbreviations. To see definitions of these factors, click on their full names:

• MWID: Mistaken Witness Identification
• FC: False Confession
• P/FA: Perjury or False Accusation
• F/MFE: False or Misleading Forensic Evidence
• OM: Official Misconduct
• ILD: Inadequate Legal Defense

Age: The exoneree's age on the date of the reported crime

The Filter finds cases that contain any of the words you enter if you check Or, or all of them if you check And. It is not
a search that works with quotation marks. It scans the Detailed and Summary Views, and the narrative summaries.

Note: An asterisk (*) in the column to the right of the "DNA" column means that the case is not included in the Innocence Project's list of DNA exonerations because post-conviction DNA evidence was not central to establishing innocence, and other non-DNA factors were essential to the exoneration.
