In a startling revelation, numerous wrongful convictions have come to light recently. Four men who had spent significant portions of their lives incarcerated have been exonerated and released after evidence proved them innocent.
Marvin Haynes, who was wrongly sentenced for murder, had the ruling against him vacated on the grounds of unconstitutional witness identification. Haynes spent decades behind bars in Minnesota. Similarly, three other wrongful convictions have emerged from Los Angeles and Illinois.
