“We Reverse”

The case of one Project client wrongly convicted of second-degree murder, Derrick Chappell, along with his codefendants Samuel Grasty and Morton Johnson, has garnered widespread attention.

Based on new DNA evidence pointing to a completely different perpetrator, the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas granted the “Chester Three” a new trial in 2024. Now, the Pennsylvania Superior Court has reinstated their convictions.
