Bill Clutter, owner of Clutter Investigations and Courthouse Courier Service of Process, founded ILAPPS in 2010, and by August 2011, the organization was invited by Governor Patrick Quinn to a bill signing ceremony at the Governor’s Mansion to witness the enactment of legislation making it a felony to assault a process server. He got his start as a process server in 1985, hired to serve the complaints and summons in the case of McNeil v the City of Springfield. That Voting Rights Act lawsuit changed the municipal government, and in 1987, Clutter was elected as the first Ward One Alderman to Springfield’s city council. In 2001, Clutter started the Illinois Innocence Project at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn recognized him, among a handful of others, whose work to free the wrongfully convicted resulted in the abolition of the death penalty in Illinois in 2011. After relocating to Louisville, Kentucky, in 2013, Clutter founded a national organization of private investigators called Investigating Innocence devoted to freeing the wrongfully convicted. He is also the author of Coal Tar: How Corrupt Politics and Corporate Greed Are Killing America’s Children. A book about his investigation of a childhood cancer epidemic that became the Illinois Supreme Court case Donaldson et. al. v. Central Illinois Public Service Company.
