CNN Reports: Exonerated man shares his first request after 43 years in prison
(CNN)Thousands of people are raising money online for a Missouri man who served 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Kevin Strickland, 62, was exonerated Tuesday morning after serving decades at Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri. Strickland was convicted in 1979 of one count of capital murder and two counts of second-degree murder in a triple homicide. He received a 50-year life sentence without the possibility for parole for a crime that, over the years, he maintained he had not been involved in. Senior Judge James Welsh dismissed all criminal counts against Strickland. His release makes his confinement the longest wrongful imprisonment in Missouri history and one of the longest in the nation, according to The National Registry of Exonerations.
The Midwest Innocence Project created a GoFundMe account to help Strickland restart his life, since he doesn't qualify for help from the state of Missouri.
This contributor suggests the state has a moral and political obligation to make this man economically whole for the injustice he has suffered. Failing to do so warrants more disrespect for the State government than the injustice of his conviction.
