The Innocents Database includes persons whose presumption of innocence was restored after their conviction was overturned by a court on direct appeal or post-conviction appeal and they were not retried; persons acquitted after a retrial; and persons granted an executive or legislative pardon based on evidence of their innocence or that restores their presumption of innocence. The sources of information include official court reports, books, and newspaper and magazine articles. Each person's record in the database includes one or more sources for the information about the person's case. For a detailed explanation of the cases included in the Innocents Database see the article "An Exoneration Can Be Judicial Or By Executive Or Legislative Clemency," online at, http://justicedenied.org/wordpress/archives/2811 .
