Celebrating Amanda Brumfield’s Freedom!

Today marks six years since Amanda Brumfield walked free after spending nine years wrongfully incarcerated.

Amanda was convicted of aggravated manslaughter following the tragic accidental death of her best friend’s 1-year-old daughter, Olivia. Her conviction relied heavily on unreliable medical testimony that portrayed the child’s injuries as evidence of abuse. Years later, new medical and scientific evidence demonstrated that short-distance falls like the one Amanda described can cause serious and even fatal injuries.

With an evidentiary hearing approaching, Amanda faced an impossible decision: continue fighting in court and risk years more behind bars or accept a deal that would allow her to go home immediately. On September 3, 2020, Amanda chose freedom and walked out of prison after nine years of wrongful incarceration.

Today, we celebrate six years of Amanda being home, six years of freedom, rebuilding, reconnecting, and creating a life beyond prison walls.

Happy Walkout Anniversary, Amanda! Here’s to six years home and every moment of freedom still ahead.💙

Happy 20th IPF Anniversary, Seth! Here’s to two decades of impact and the work still ahead. 😊

Celebrating Tony Hopps’ Freedom 💙

We're celebrating five years of freedom for Tony Hopps, who walked free in August 2021 after spending more than 31 years wrongfully incarcerated for an armed burglary and robbery he did not commit.

Tony was convicted based solely on eyewitness identifications, despite having an alibi and no physical or scientific evidence linking him to the crime. Decades later, a comprehensive reinvestigation uncovered significant problems with those identifications and substantial evidence supporting the alibi Tony had maintained all along.

After more than three decades of fighting to be heard, Tony’s convictions and life sentences were vacated, the charges against him were dropped, and he was finally free.

Happy Freedom Anniversary, Tony! Here’s to every moment, memory, and year ahead.

Happy   to all who celebrate!🥰🐶

Celebrating One Year of Freedom for Anthony Marshall!

One year ago today, Anthony Marshall walked out of Everglades Correctional Institution and into the arms of his family after spending more than 43 years wrongfully incarcerated.

On August 26, 2025, Anthony finally walked free, becoming the 36th person released with the help of the Innocence Project of Florida. After more than four decades behind bars, that moment marked the beginning of a long-awaited new chapter filled with family, connection, new experiences, and the opportunity to build a life beyond prison walls.

Today, we celebrate one full year of Anthony being home, one year of making memories, reconnecting with loved ones, experiencing the everyday joys of freedom, and moving forward.

Anthony, we are so grateful to celebrate this milestone with you and to witness all that this new chapter continues to bring.

Happy Walkout Anniversary, Anthony! Here's to one year home and many more years of freedom ahead. 💙

🎉 Happy Work Anniversary, Emily!

Today, we’re celebrating six years of our Director of Operations, Emily Thourson, bringing care, thoughtfulness, and dedication to IPF!

As IPF has grown, Emily has played an essential role in building the infrastructure that makes our work possible, from developing budgets and organizational policies to helping us find our new office space. Her behind-the-scenes work supports our attorneys, investigators, social workers, and staff as they pursue justice and serve our clients and their families.

For Emily, that variety is also what makes the work so meaningful:

“Each day looks a little different, which is why I love this job so much. I am proud of how far we have come and excited for what lies ahead!”

We’re incredibly grateful for all Emily has contributed over the past six years and for the role she continues to play in IPF’s growth and impact. Please join us in wishing her a very happy work anniversary! 💙

🎉 Happy Birthday, James Bain! 💙

Today, on , we’re especially proud to celebrate our freed client James Bain and the life and freedom he fought so long to reclaim.

James spent 35 years wrongfully incarcerated for a crime he did not commit, maintaining his innocence throughout. After years of seeking DNA testing, the results finally proved what James had always said: he was innocent. On December 17, 2009, he was exonerated and walked free.

Since 2003, the Innocence Project of Florida has remained committed to finding and freeing innocent people, supporting them as they rebuild their lives, and working toward a more just criminal legal system. James and all of our freed clients are at the heart of that commitment and remind us why this work matters.

Today, we celebrate James not for the years injustice took from him, but for the freedom, life, and memories he has been able to embrace since coming home.

Please join us in wishing James a very Happy Birthday and celebrating National Nonprofit Day with a renewed commitment to justice. 🎂💙
