Its high time that we stand back and take a long hard look at our Justice system. There are far too many men and women being exonerated after wrongful convictions. Just Google the term -wrongfully convicted exoneration in 2008- an you will find no less than a dozen people who have been exonerated this year, and its only MAY!! Also you will find that together they have had over 100 years of life stolen by a system that promises JUSTICE FOR ALL.

About me: Raye-of-hope.org is an informational site on wrongful convictions and false allegations, along with providing information on wrongful convictions and false allegations it is our goal to not only educate the public about the reality of wrongful convictions but help those who have been wrongfully convicted or falsely accused.
Raye Dawn Smith is currently in the process of her appeals and her attorney fees are always building. The letters and words from her supporters keep her going from day to day, but donations are needed to pay her lawyers so she can get her life back. Any amount can help and is highly appreciated. We have received notice that Jones has threatened to quit unless the Raye's family is able to give him 10,000 by the first of the year. This is a dire situation and if Raye loses her attorney it's going to set her case back to the beginning.
Please note that we are still adding information and cases to the website so remember to check back often and if you have any suggestions feel free to let us know on the Contact Us page on Raye-of-Hope.org.
