Black man in Missouri exonerated after 43 years in prison
A judge in the midwestern US state of Missouri ordered the immediate release on Tuesday of a Black man who spent 43 years in prison for a triple murder he did not commit.
Kevin Strickland, 62, was convicted by an all-white jury in 1979 for the murders in Kansas City, Missouri, and sentenced to life in prison.
Strickland steadfastly proclaimed his innocence and the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office agreed earlier this year that he was wrongly convicted.
