Kirstin Blaise Lobato vs. State of Nevada
Kirstin Blaise Lobato was convicted in October 2006 of charges related to the murder of a homeless man in Las Vegas on July 8, 2001. It is physically impossible that Ms. Lobato committed those crimes. She was 18 in 2001, and on the entire day of July 8 she was 170 miles north of Las Vegas at her parents' house in Panaca, Nevada where she was living.
Ms. Lobato’s 770-
Ms. Lobato's wrongful conviction is particularly outrageous because she did not know the murdered man, she had never been to the murder scene, and she was 170 miles away at the time the crime occurred. Ms. Lobato has no more connection to the crime than if she had been selected for prosecution by being chosen from a hat full of the names of people with a Nevada driver's license.
In 2010 the Innocence Project in New York accepted Ms. Lobato's case to pursue DNA testing of crime scene evidence that could prove her innocence. In March 2010 the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted endorsed Ms. Lobato's case, writing: "AIDWYC believes after a thorough review and assessment of Ms. Lobato's case that she is innocent."
“She placed her belief in the justice system, and she ended up being convicted of a crime that she did not commit.”

(Stated when she was Ms. Lobato’s attorney and a
Clark County Deputy Special Public Defender in May 2002.)
