Hopefully he’s getting a huge payout. They stole his life from him.

Wow can't even imagine being in prison for 39 years knowing you're innocent that whole time. Think of all the things he could have done with his life.

There was a graph in r/dataisbeautiful showing how the murder clearance rate has dropped in the US over the years:

Today it's around 54%, when back in 1965 it was 91%. As so many people in the comment section were pointing out, a likely explanation for how they solved 91% of murders back then was by convicting a lot of innocent people.
