Darien Harris, who spent 12 years in prison for a murder he maintained he did not commit, had all charges dropped and was released after it was discovered that the star witness who identified him as the shooter was legally blind. Harris, who was just a week away from graduating high school when he was implicated in the 2011 shooting, was exonerated in July but remained in custody until now.
