Ogg wages campaign to help the innocent

Even after you are found innocent of a crime, you will still face the stain on your criminal history. The records can keep you from getting a job or housing.
It isn’t fair.
Kim Ogg believes the Harris County District Attorney’s office should help innocent Houstonians clean up their criminal arrest record. Ogg is not waiting until she gets elected in November to make it happen.
This Saturday, April 16th, the news media is invited to witness lives being changed at Cullen Missionary Baptist Church between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm.
Ogg and a team of volunteer lawyers will be on hand to review the criminal records of Houstonians who were wrongfully arrested, or who successfully completed their probations. Those with eligible cases will be referred to partnering law school clinics at U of H, South Texas College of Law, and TSU for additional help.
The best news is this legal help is free, courtesy of the Ogg campaign for Harris County District Attorney. Ogg will be available to talk to reporters at 12:30 pm.
Cullen Missionary Baptist Church is located at 13233 Cullen Boulevard, Houston Texas, 77047.
“People with criminal records have trouble getting jobs, housing and education. When the government gets it wrong, and it hurts somebody, then the government needs to make it right. We can start right now by helping people clean up their records,” said Ogg.
The “Clean Up Your Record Days” have already helped dozens of low- income Houstonians.
