Walter Forbes, 63, walked free on November 20 from Kinross Correctional Facility in Michigan
Forbes spent 37 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted of murder and arson after a man who had shot him died in a house fire
A woman named Annice Kennebrew helped convict Forbes after she testified that she saw him throw gasoline on the building and set it on fire
Kennebrew eventually came forward in 2017 and admitted that she had lied
She testified that she made the false claims after two local men threatened to harm her and her family if she didn't implicate Forbes in the crime
