Justice for Tony Apanovitch

DNA evidence exonerated Tony of the rape and murder allowed him to leave death row as a free man after 32 years.

After 30 months of freedom with his family, a legal technicality regarding the way that the DNA evidence that freed him was processed resulted in his exoneration being overturned. Tony was then stolen from his family when the SWAT team came to his house and took him back to death row, where he tragically stands today.

Visit the Justice4Apanovitch website to learn more about the case and take action to help free Tony.
