Man who wrongly served 29 years in prison found ally in Meek Mill
Eric Riddick, who served 29 years for crime he didn t commit, fights to clear name UP NEXT After spending nearly three decades behind bars for a crime he says he didn t commit, Eric Riddick woke up in Philadelphia on Saturday a free man with a new purpose and an ally to help him get it done. Riddick, who served over 29 years of a life sentence, was released from prison on Friday after his attorney argued that evidence was not shared with the defense at the time of the initial trial.
