LOS ANGELES (AP) — For more than two decades behind bars, Willie Earl Green worked hard on his education, married his pen pal and never stopped trying to prove he was innocent in the execution-style murder of a single mother.
The sole prosecution witness came forward four years ago, saying he wasn't sure he had identified the right man. Last week, a judge tossed out Green's conviction.
Even though he spent nearly half of his life in prison, the 56-year-old, soft-spoken man is at peace with himself.
