'Hotel Rwanda' hero Paul Rusesabagina to be released from prison after sentence commuted.

Paul Rusesabagina, the Rwandan hotelier who inspired the movie "Hotel Rwanda," will be released from prison after his 25-year sentence was commuted by presidential order. Rusesabagina, who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States, was tried and convicted on terrorism-related charges in Rwanda's High Court in Kigali in 2021. The U.S. Department of State had previously determined that Rusesabagina had been "wrongfully detained."

Florida man exonerated and released after 400-year sentence for wrongful conviction.

Sidney Holmes, a Florida man who was sentenced to 400 years in prison for an armed robbery, is expected to be released from prison after spending more than 34 years behind bars. An investigation by the Broward State Attorney’s Office conviction review unit found he had a plausible claim of innocence. The unit found there was no evidence linking him to the crime, and that a misidentification of his vehicle may have contributed to his conviction. Holmes is expected to be released from custody in April.
