Georgia Innocence Project The Georgia Innocence Project (GIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals who have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. The Project works to secure post-conviction DNA testing for Georgia and Alabama inmates where DNA analysis could prove guilt or innocence and adequate DNA testing was not available at trial. Since its inception, GIP has received more than 5,900 letters requesting our assistance. Each request is carefully reviewed to determine if the case meets our requirements. Our rigorous screening process includes a complete review of the case and all relevant documents. If the case meets GIP’s strict scrutiny and there is DNA evidence available to test, we accept representation of the case and begin litigating the issues. To date, the Georgia Innocence Project has accepted 52 clients.
