Abstract:
Wilbert Jones was exonerated on October 11, 2018. He was wrongfully imprisoned for forty-five years, ten months, and one day for a crime he did not commit. The only evidence against Mr. Jones was the testimony of a single eyewitness, and she made a mistake. A mistake that could have been prevented. A mistake that cost a young man his youth, and his dreams of having a family and doing meaningful work.
