The Colorado Justice Review Project has received a $1.2 million dollar grant to assist in the review of thousands of rapes, murders and manslaughters to determine if anyone was wrongfully convicted. 

The Attorney General’s Office applied for the federal grant. In its proposal, the AG’s office said that its goal is to test biological evidence in roughly one percent of the cases where DNA evidence could exonerate innocent inmates; request further judicial review in any case where post-conviction DNA analysis proves a conviction is questionable, document cases that result in exoneration and close any cases where post-conviction DNA analysis indicates the conviction was accurate.
