Ray Gray.
Regarding a possible commutation of Gray’s life sentence, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy tells Channel 4, “I would be fully on board with that.” If you’re a regular reader of this rag, you know the heartrending tale of Ray Gray, the Michigan man stuck behind bars for nearly 50 years for a crime he insists he did not commit. In the early 1970s on the west side of Detroit, Gray was a budding young artist and a four-time Golden Gloves boxing champ on the precipice of turning pro. His future, it seemed, was bright. But then, he and his supporters say, he was wrongfully convicted of murder. For nearly five decades, Gray has maintained his innocence in the 1973 shooting death of Reuben Bryant.
