#exoneration

New from Picador, Good Kids, Bad City: A Story of Race and Wrongful Conviction in America. In his new book, The Washington Post’s Kyle Swenson examines the wrongful conviction of three black Cleveland men and the flawed justice system that imprisoned them. (Read the Kirkus review here.)

In his first TV interview since his exoneration, Termaine Hicks speaks out to Lester Holt after 19 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Watch the two-part interview here.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office recently concluded much of the testimony against Hicks was false, and Hicks’ case marks the 16th exoneration since 2018 attributed to its Conviction Integrity Unit.

Now a free man, Hicks says that he looks forward to spending time with his family.
