40 years!!! Am crying as well, story really breaks me. His Youthful Life wasted but at least vindicated.
Kwame Ajamu was just 17 years old when he was sentenced to death in 1975 after businessman Harry Franks was beaten and shot dead outside a convenience store in his neighborhood.
Ajamu was jailed for 40 years after the killing took place at Cleveland. Then he was under the name Ronnie Bridgeman, he was jailed alongside his brother Wiley Bridgeman, then aged 20, and their friend Ricky Jackson, 19.
But the case against them unraveled after the prosecution's star witness, a 13-year-old, recounted his testimony last year, saying he lied after being pressured and fed evidence by detectives.
