Innocence project in Croatia – Project goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CroINOP project is intended to realize itself through six chief goals. Firstly (O1.), through the establishment, development and upgrading, then (O2.) through the planning and creating of a subject development strategy and the research scope, thirdly (O3.), the goal would be to apply CroINOP in practice via the counseling of convicts with a basis for a new trial by means of subsequent DNA analysis and proceedings through the engagement of intellectual service providers (attorneys). Based on the research and collected data, a CroINOP database would be established, developed and upgraded (O4.). All the data would be analyzed (O5.) and the results would be a basis for the gathering of new knowledge and the suggestion of new solutions, which also constitutes the sixth goal (O6.), the presentation of the project results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected results <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of the project is the fulfillment of goals related to the primary research and then, or simultaneously, those related to the applied research, meaning the introduction of an experimental Innocence Project model in Croatia. Innocence Projects allow for the re-examination of convicts\u2019 cases to determine their innocence. One of the main methods is subsequent DNA testing, which would be made by a licensed laboratory, something which would, among others, be enabled by this project to interested convicts. Innocence Projects have an influence on the judicial system so that they re-examine and correct mistakes by freeing innocent people and discovering and prosecuting real culprits. The primary purpose of the project would realize justice through providing expert aid to persons convicted, despite them not being culprits (this is the case of the so-called factual innocence which is not directly tied with possible procedural breaches). The effects of the applied research would foremost be related to the practice and proceedings in such cases because a permanent model of an Innocence Project would allow convicts to obtain a new trial in situations in which they could not financially afford it. A significant effect of CroINOP would be the publication of gathered knowledge and experience via papers published in A1-categorised publications. According to the work plan, at least eight such articles would be released. Also, CroINOP has the goal of establishing a certain, if only temporary (for the duration of the project) database (A4.1.) on cases in which there would be a new trial via the project, but also on other research-relevant data. One of the crucial effects would be the creation of procedural guidelines for experts hired in such cases, but also for convicts. The guidelines would contain specific appendices like forms through which convicts could file a motion for a new trial, which is predicted to have a significant influence on current practice in such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
