Clemency & Post-Conviction Advocacy

Drew Willey's dedication to post-conviction justice began with the clemency petition he worked on for Marvin Wilson, a man with intellectual disability who was executed in Texas—a case that solidified Drew's lifelong mission to defend the rights of the vulnerable. He now leads the ongoing effort to free Willie Fleming, a inspiring man seeking a sentence reduction in Texas after an opioid prescription diverted his future away from his wife and son.
