Innocence Project in Croatia

Innocence project in Croatia was approved by Croatian Science Foundation in 2019. The project started in February 2020 and should be completed by the end of January 2024. The project gathered legal and medical (DNA) experts in Croatia and the USA. The CroINOP project is intended to realize itself through six chief goals. Firstly, through the establishment, development and upgrading, then through the planning and creating of a subject development strategy and the research scope, thirdly, the goal would be to apply CroINOP in practice via the counseling of convicts with a basis for a new trial by means of subsequent DNA analysis and proceedings through the engagement of intellectual service providers (attorneys). Based on the research and collected data, a CroINOP database would be established, developed and upgraded. All the data would be analyzed and the results would be a basis for the gathering of new knowledge and the suggestion of new solutions, which also constitutes the sixth goal, the presentation of the project results. The primary purpose of the project would realize justice through providing expert aid to persons convicted, despite them not being culprits (this is the case of the so- called factual innocence which is not directly tied with possible procedural breaches). In this presentation, first initial data will be presented.
