Nearly 40 years of his life spent in prison for a crime he did not commit. Another way to wrap our minds around this: For those whove lived long enough, how did you spend the last four decades of your life?

It had taken nearly 40 years, but Ajamu was no longer a convicted murderer. Moments earlier, Barker had dismissed his charges and county Prosecutor Tim McGinty had conveyed a message through an assistant that Ajamu; his brother, Wiley Bridgeman; and their friend Ricky Jackson ‘have been the victims of a terrible injustice.’’
