In 2015, Mr. Snyder and the Pennsylvania Innocence Project won a new trial for their client Teri Smallwood, who had been convicted in 1972 of starting a fire that killed two people despite there being no physical evidence or eyewitness testimony directly linking her to the crime.  In vacating her conviction, the Court held that the revolutionary changes in fire science since her conviction constituted newly discovered evidence that could have altered the outcome of her trial.  After 42 years of incarceration, Ms. Smallwood was released on bail pending the Commonwealth's appeal and a potential new trial.   In April, 2018, the parties reached an agreement ending Ms. Smallwood’s case, and ensuring that Ms. Smallwood will remain a free woman.
