Decades of Injustice: Black Man Finally Exonerated After Half a Century Behind Bars

Glynn Simmons, an innocent Black man, spent 50 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. He is now eligible for up to $175,000 in compensation from the state for his wrongful conviction, but a bill in Oklahoma aims to limit compensation to $50,000 for every year spent in prison. Simmons, who is currently battling cancer, is relying on GoFundMe donations to cover his living expenses and medical treatments. He plans to use his remaining time to advocate for reforming the criminal justice system and preventing others from experiencing the same injustice.
