Washington - Three Baltimore men who spent 36 years in prison were exonerated on Monday of the 1983 murder of a teenage boy who was shot dead over a jacket.
"These three men were convicted, as children, because of police and prosecutorial misconduct," Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby said after the three were formally exonerated by a city circuit court judge and released from prison. According to the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project , which worked to secure the release of the"Harlem Park Three," four teenage witnesses identified Chestnut, Stewart and Watkins at their trial but later recanted their testimony.
At a press conference following the release of the three, Watkins said"this should have never happened.""This fight is not over," Watkins said."You all will hear from us again."
