"Daniel Gwynn Exonerated After 30 Years on Death Row in Philadelphia"
After spending nearly 30 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, Daniel Gwynn was exonerated and freed by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, which dropped all charges against him. Gwynn's case is among dozens that the District Attorney has sought to revisit, and his exoneration highlights the impact of inexact and corrupt policing and prosecution. Gwynn's wrongful conviction was based on coerced testimony and a confession obtained under duress, and key evidence about an alternate suspect was withheld from him. Throughout his imprisonment, Gwynn turned to painting as a way to survive and express the injustice he faced.
