A Chicago man, wrongfully imprisoned for over three decades, has been released from jail after prosecutors dropped all charges against him. His murder conviction was overturned, and he filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Chicago and Cook County, alleging he was framed for a 1989 double murder. The case primarily relied on the testimony of a blind witness. He spent 50 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit.
