Nanon Williams

Stand with Nanon.

Wrongful convictions are undone by people who know the facts and refuse to look away. Here is where to start.

  • Know the case.

    The state's firearms examiner admitted his error in 1998, and in 2024 a Texas commission confirmed it. Start with the facts, then tell someone else.

  • Share it.

    Every person who knows the record adds pressure for a real review.

  • Follow the reinvestigation.

    Georgetown University's Making an Exoneree program reinvestigated the case in 2019 and documented what it found.

  • Watch the report.

    NBC News's Dan Slepian reported on Nanon's case and his friendship with Rob and Michele Reiner.

  • See the show.

    Bryonn Bain's Lyrics from Lockdown has carried Nanon's voice and case to Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater and Lincoln Center.

  • Invite him to speak.

    Bring Nanon into your classroom or group for a one-hour phone session.

  • Read his books.

    Four books written from inside Texas prisons, including his autobiography, Still Surviving.

  • Support his legal defense.

    A legal defense fund is being set up. It will be listed here as soon as it opens.
