Innocent Man is Released but Imprisoned

Imagine this: You’ve been totally cleared of murder after spending 21 years in prison.  Your state lets you out but makes you–a legally and actually innocent person–wear an ankle monitor and keep you on the books as a murderer.  That’s what’s happening to an Illinois man, Tyrone Hood.

Read a short summary of the situation, in his own words.  For more details, click on the links he gives you.  Then do something to help this man who is caught in an unjust system.  On the page giving his summary, at change.org, is a place where you can sign a petition to free him totally.  Politicians respond to pressure.

If this can happen to him, it can happen to any of us accused of any crime.
