OPTIONAL: New West Virginia Law to Address Wrongful Convictions

As explained by the Innocence Project: "In 2021, West Virginia passed a law creating an avenue for people to present new forensic or scientific evidence that provides a reasonable probability of a different result at trial. The law clarifies that this new evidence includes evidence that was not available at the time of trial, or which undermines forensic scientific evidence relied upon by the state at trial. Effective: July 2021."
