   We're extremely gratified that The CIU investigation confirmed the results of the University of Baltimore Innocence Project Clinic( UBIPC) / MAIP investigation into Mr. Morris's case, the evidence at David Morris trial was incredibly weak, and our post-conviction investigation unearthed even more evidence supporting David Morris longstanding claim of innocence. We're grateful to Mr. Carter's family for assisting in The CIU investigation despite the pain The CIU investigation must have caused, and we want to thank all former staff, students, and colleagues for their hard work. I look forward to seeing Mr. Morris as a free man later today.
