Georgia State Law Alums on Legal Team That Exonerated Devonia Inman
Troutman Pepper attorneys Tiffany Bracewell and Alan Long are quoted in the Georgia State News Hub article, " Georgia State Law Alums on Legal Team That Exonerated Devonia Inman."
"We spent a couple of years really reinvestigating the case from top to bottom," Bracewell said. "We were digging up old records, we went to South Georgia and knocked on doors. If we had a claim, this was the chance to bring it, we couldn't leave any stone unturned."

"The whole time I kind of refused to let it set in," Long said. "The day that he was actually released really brought it all together for me. It was the most rewarding experience in my short practice so far and may continue to be for my entire career."

"I had lunch with Tom Reilly, the partner on the case, my second week at the job," Bracewell said. "He asked if I had experience doing habeas work and I did because I was just coming off a federal clerkship, which was an opportunity I wouldn't have had if I didn't attend Georgia State."
Bracewell continued, "I think Georgia State, more than any other law school, preps its students to practice and to make an impact immediately. You can get all the experience you need to be several steps ahead and that's ultimately what landed me on Devonia's case."
