Claude Garrett, 65, wrongly jailed for 30 years dies just months after being released

A man who was wrongly imprisoned for 30 years has died less than six months after the verdict was overturned and he was released from jail.

Claude Francis Garrett, 65, had been convicted for the murder by arson of his girlfriend Lorie Lee Lance in 1993 but was freed in May this year after errors were found in the evidence during the trial in Tennessee.

Claude Garrett served 30 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit before his release from Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.
