Heidi Goodwin spent nearly a decade wrongfully convicted of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), a diagnosis that has since been widely discredited as junk science. In the case against Heidi, it was determined that a crime never occurred. Heidi is an Executive Board member of Exonerated Nation, an exoneree-founded and -led organization dedicated to meeting the immediate needs of exonerees. Additionally, she sits on numerous Innocence Network committees and serves as an Innocence Network Conference Lead Ambassador, a program she helped to conceive of and develop. In 2023, Heidi was elected to the Innocence Network Executive Board.
