Justice for Ernesto Behrens

HelpDNA tells the story of Ernesto Behrens, an innocent man who has spent more than 26 years in the Florida Department of Corrections. We believe the evidence shows a wrongful conviction — and we are asking for the public's attention, voice, and support.

DNA forensic evidence is an invaluable tool for law enforcement — but it is most useful when it corroborates other evidence pointing to a suspect. When it does not, far more public oversight and accountability are warranted.

Why This Matters to Everyone

The fact that DNA alone can be used to obtain a conviction and support a life sentence should send chills down everyone's spine. The next Ernesto Behrens could be you, or someone you love. Be a voice.
