Anna Vasquez, Board of Directors

Anna Vasquez is the Director of Outreach and Education for the Innocence Project of Texas. She took on that role after serving a nearly 13 YEAR prison sentence for a crime that never occurred.

Anna and three of her friends, who became known as the San Antonio Four, were convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The case dates back to 1994 when Anna was only 19. She and her friends spent 24 years fighting for their innocence. In 2016, the Court of Criminal Appeals deemed all four actually innocent.

Anna is now dedicated to sharing her experience in the hopes of improving the justice system and preventing similar occurrences.
