Three men who were just released from prison after spending 24 years behind bars for a crime they say they did not commit are speaking to "CBS This Morning" after a judge overturned their convictions.
George Bell, Gary Johnson and Rohan Bolt were each sentenced to at least 50 years for a deadly attempted robbery in New York City. Their lawyers argued the case was based on false confessions and racial bias.
"The feeling of freedom is is so surreal right now. Like, words just can't describe," George Bell told CBS News' Nikki Battiste.
