How long does it take for the Pennsylvania Innocence Project to determine whether it will look into a case?
Once we receive your letter, we will review it to determine whether your case meets our criteria. If so, we will send you a detailed questionnaire to be completed. The time from writing to the Project until an initial determination is made is generally less than 2 weeks. Review of a questionnaire takes more time due to the large volume of requests; it may take several months before the Project screeners are able to decide whether or not to accept your case. Please be patient. Please do not telephone or write additional letters asking about your case. However, you must update your address if you are moved.
