Freed Inmate Hopes to Help Others
A man in Kansas City, Missouri, was recently released from prison and hopes that his case will help others who may be falsely imprisoned in the future.
The man was convicted in 1984 for a murder that occurred during a gas station shooting in St. Louis.
However, it was discovered that one of the key witnesses in the case lied about the convicted man’s involvement in the shooting.
Prisoner’s Innocence Proven
Darryl Burton, 46, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole for 50 years and was released from the Jefferson City Correctional Center last Friday when he was proven innocent.
Burton was released when his case was sent back to trial and it was revealed that witness Claudex Simmons lied about seeing Burton shoot the victim who died.
Effort to Help Other Innocent Victims
Burton is now hoping that his case will better inform the general public about the wrong imprisonment of thousands of innocent victims throughout the country.
"I come to prison thinking that this is an isolated incident, I'm the only person this has ever happened to," Burton said. “But it does happens in more cases than we know."
