Man Exonerated After Nearly 50 Years in Prison for Murder

Justice

Glynn Simmons, who spent nearly 50 years in prison for murder, has been declared innocent by a judge, making him the longest serving inmate to be exonerated in the US. He is now eligible for compensation of up to $175,000 and may file a federal lawsuit against Oklahoma City and the law enforcement involved in his arrest and conviction. However, receiving compensation may take years, and in the meantime, he is relying on donations while undergoing cancer treatment.
