Jonathan Irons: Wrongful conviction
Table of Contents
The story of Jonathan Irons is one that touches on broader injustices faced by Black men. He spent 22 years in prison on charges that he never committed.
A Missouri judge overturned his conviction in March. Several problems were pointed out by the judge, including the fact that there were no witnesses to the crime and the prosecution failed to turn over a fingerprint report. That report would have proved that Jonathan Irons was innocent.
Attorneys for Jonathan Irons also claimed that police mishandled his case, presenting a false confession. They said police tampered with the evidence and even hid evidence.
One of the key pieces of evidence was a fingerprint report that was hidden inside the victim’s front door. It was not the same fingerprint as that of the suspected assailant.
Another piece of evidence uncovered in the trial was a screen frame from the basement window. This reportedly showed fragments of broken glass. But the officer who interrogated Irons threw away the interview notes.
Friendship with WNBA star Maya Moore
A little over a decade ago, former WNBA star Maya Moore and Jonathan Irons became friends. The two had a close relationship, and stayed in touch throughout the years.
They were introduced at a penitentiary visit in 2007. After getting to know each other better, the two developed a deep friendship. It wasn’t long before Moore began to feel romantic feelings for Irons.
When Moore was 18 years old, she started to become more involved with Irons’ case. She began to work for changes in the criminal justice system, and she began advocating for those incarcerated.
Moore decided to skip her WNBA season in 2020 to focus on helping Irons, who had been convicted of a crime he did not commit. At first, Moore didn’t plan to return to basketball.
In January, Moore announced she would be taking a hiatus from basketball in order to dedicate her time to Irons’ release. Moore was also planning to introduce a social action campaign called Win With Justice.
