Sean Ellis is an exoneree, motivational speaker, and advocate for criminal justice reform. At 19, he was arrested for the murder of a police officer and wrongfully convicted after two juries couldn't reach a verdict. Sentenced to life without parole, his conviction stemmed from police misconduct, including witness coercion, evidence tampering, and misleading forensic evidence. Exonerated in 2021 after nearly 22 years in prison, his story is featured in Netflix's Trial 4. In 2020, Sean co-founded the Exoneree Network with the New England Innocence Project to support exonerees' re-entry needs. He frequently speaks across New England, raising awareness about wrongful convictions.
