A black man who spent 26 years on death row for murder was exonerated on Friday after new DNA testing revealed he was not the perpetrator.
“I want to say many thanks to the many people who are responsible for helping to make my dream of freedom a reality,” said Eddie Lee Howard, who was convicted in 1994 of murdering an elderly white woman in Columbus, Mississippi, according to the Innocence Project. “I thank you with all my heart, because without your hard work on my behalf, I would still be confined in that terrible place called the Mississippi Department of Corrections, on death row, waiting to be executed.”
