Andrew worked on Mr. Ogrod’s case for over a decade, pressing claims that the confession obtained from Mr. Ogrod by police officers was false. In June 2020, those efforts led to Mr. Ogrod’s conviction being overturned and to his release after serving nearly 30-years in prison, over 20 of which were on Pennsylvania’s death row.
