Two Georgia men who spent 25 years in prison were freed last week after their murder convictions were overturned when podcasters and their attorneys unearthed new evidence proving their innocence.

Darrell Lee Clark is exonerated and released from Floyd County Jail after 25 years of wrongful imprisonment.

Darrell Lee Clark and his co-defendant Cain Joshua Storey were 17 years old when they were arrested for their alleged involvement in the death of 15-year-old Brian Bowling.However, after the urging of Bowling’s distraught family, the GIP said, days after speaking to a party host, police upgraded Storey’s charge to murder and also connected Clark to the case as a co-defendant, despite the fact that he had a corroborated alibi.

“We are elated, thrilled that he is finally home after all this time. It’s even better that it’s in time for the holidays,” Clark’s attorney Meagan Hurley told NBC News. “Twenty-five years is an incredibly long time to spend incarcerated for a crime you didn’t commit.”“They went into this process with an open mind. They were willing to hear out what the podcasters had to say, and eventually, the attorneys," Hurley said.

The state’s case against Clark and Storey largely hinged on two key witnesses, according to the GIP. Podcasters Susan Simpson and Jacinda Davis, behind the podcast “Proof,” began interviewing witnesses related to the case in late 2021.Their investigation found the party hostess, a key witness, was coerced by police to give false testimony about statements Clark and Storey allegedly made.

Should probably be standard nationally there's autopsy if someone's charged with murder

Klaarblijkelijk gebeurt dit niet alleen met zwarte mannen. De blm leugens ten spijt.

And that’s why I’ll never support capital punishment.

Good lord, imagine 25 years of your freedom taken from you.

I doubt Benjamin Crump interested in this injustice.
