Ben Spencer's Long Journey to Freedom

Ben Spencer spent 34 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, convicted based on insufficient and unreliable evidence. His wrongful conviction stemmed from the testimony of three eyewitnesses who claimed they saw him fleeing the scene of a murder, despite being very far away and in poor visibility conditions. Notably, there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime, and despite a judge ruling him innocent 20 years after his conviction, he remained incarcerated until 2021. His story highlights the challenges faced by wrongfully convicted individuals in navigating a flawed justice system.
