30 Years Old on Death Row for a Crime He Didn't Commit: Anthony Ray Hinton Exonerated

A death row inmate who had been in prison for 30 years waiting for his turn to be executed, was released because he was not proven guilty. Anthony Ray Hinton, a resident of Alabama, USA, was sentenced to death in 1985 for murdering two restaurant managers. Laboratory tests on bullets found at the scene turned up unrelated to the gun found in Hinton's home.
