Eric Riddick is an advocate, speaker, and exoneree who spent nearly 30 years wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Convicted in 1992, Riddick faced decades of legal setbacks despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. His pursuit of justice gained national attention in part thanks to his friendship with the rapper Meek Mill, and his case was championed in 2019 by students from Georgetown University’s Making an Exoneree class. In 2021, with support from the Philadelphia Conviction Integrity Unit, Riddick was finally released.

Since returning home, Riddick has dedicated himself to advocating for the incarcerated men and women still left behind the walls. He works to expose the deep flaws in the criminal legal system, push for policy changes, and support others in their legal battles.
