Joe Karam - The Innocence Project

The Innocence Project

Karam believes the fact that it took 13 years to get Bain's conviction overturned shows how flawed the New Zealand justice system is. In 2007 he said he planned to set up an organisation similar to the Innocence Project in the US, where those with skills and resources offer their help pro bono, like a support club for single crusaders such as himself, Keith Hunter and Mike Kalaugher (the Scott Watson campaigners).

Famous quotes containing the words innocence and/or project:

    Even innocence itself has many a wile,
    And will not dare to trust itself with truth,
    And love is taught hypocrisy from youth.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    She cannot love,
    Nor take no shape nor project of affection,
    She is so self-endeared.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
