48-Year Wrongful Incarceration Ends: Oklahoma Judge Declares Man Innocent

An Oklahoma judge has ruled that Glynn Simmons, who spent 48 years in prison for murder, is innocent. Simmons, who was released in July after key evidence was not disclosed to his defense lawyers, is the longest-serving inmate to be declared innocent. The ruling makes him eligible for compensation from the state and opens the door for a federal lawsuit against Oklahoma City and law enforcement involved in his arrest and conviction. Simmons, who is currently battling cancer, is living off donations while awaiting potential compensation.
