Anthony Hinton spent 28 years on death row in the United States after being falsely convicted of a double murder in the state of Alabama in 1985. He was finally released in 2015 and is now a community educator at the Equal Justice Initiative.\r\n\r\nHinton’s case is not an outlier; at least five percent of the prison population is wrongly convicted.
