Nethercott, the founding Director and driving force behind The Innocence Project in Maryland, has been described “by current and former inmates in the Maryland prison system as a ‘steely-eyed pit bull’ despite her kindly demeanor. “[H]er name became synonymous with the effort in Baltimore to correct costly mistakes of the justice system.” Nethercott has “has represented numerous clients who were exonerated on the basis of postconviction DNA testing and other forms of newly discovered evidence” and is considered an expert on forensic use of DNA. “She is well known for … overturning decades-old wrongful convictions.”
