In Alabama, a prisoner who has spent nearly 30 years on death row is being released today. Anthony Ray Hinton was accused of murdering two fast-food managers in 1985, but subsequent tests found bullets at the scene could not be matched to the gun he was accused of using. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, which won his release, Hinton is among the longest-serving death row prisoners ever to be freed after presenting evidence of innocence.
