Watch Clive Stafford Smith talk at TEDx Marrakesh

on 10 September 2011


Reprieve founder, Clive Stafford Smith talks at TEDx Marrakesh on 10/09/11 about how the US judicial process results in wrongful convictions.

In total, Clive has represented over 300 prisoners facing the death penalty in the southern United States.

While he only took on the cases of those who could not afford a lawyer – he has never been paid by a client – and always the most despised, he prevented in the death penalty in all but six cases (a 98% “victory” rate). Few lawyers ever take a case to the US Supreme Court – Clive has taken five, and all of the prisoners prevailed.
