Haynesworth in the New York Times

As the fight to clear his name continues, Thomas Haynesworth’s case made this Sunday’s New York Times. As many of you know, Mr. Haynesworth was paroled and released from prison last March after spending 27 years incarcerated for a string of rapes and sexual assaults he did not commit. But despite his release and innocence, he is not fully exonerated. Mr. Haynesworth still has to follow a number of strict parole regulations, including registering as a sex offender, which continue to make it difficult for him to rebuild the life he lost nearly three decades ago.

However, the article in Sunday’s Times not only outlines Mr. Haynesworth’s current situation but also the road ahead. Tomorrow morning, MAIP’s Executive Director Shawn Armbrust will continue to fight for Mr. Haynesworth’s full exoneration during her oral argument before the en banc Virginia Court of Appeals. The oral argument is open to the public and will take place at 9 :00 a.m. at the Virginia Supreme Court, which is located 100 N. 9th Street in Richmond, VA.
