Help Prevent False Accusations

CIFS is a pivotal resource for attorneys and families. When someone is  accused of a crime they didn't commit involving forensic science, we are here to help. Your dollars help us consult with attorneys who have complex forensic science cases so they can fight for their clients. False accusations can tear families apart. Together we can prevent wrongful convictions, free individuals this system has failed, and ensure fair trials for all.

Your Dollars Help Defend People Like Jessica

Jessica Logan was convicted in 2021 in the death of her 19-month-old son, Jayden. Jessica was convicted based on 911 call analysis, a technique with no scientific foundations. We joined her legal team in 2023 to represent her in post-conviction proceedings. Jessica has always maintained her innocence and we continue to fight for her every day. You can learn more about her story here.

Make a Change

By donating to CIFS, you’re helping us write amicus briefs for people like Odell Adams. In August 2022, we collaborated with the Forensic Justice Project on this brief in Adams’ case to the Court of Appeals of the State of Oregon to raise the issue of pattern matching in cases involving firearms. On May 29th, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the State of Oregon agreed that firearm and toolmark pattern matching do not meet the requirements of admissibility under Daubert. Firearms and toolmark pattern matching is not proven to be a valid science yet it’s used every day across the country. This decision could have significant implications for future cases.
