Man Freed After Being Wrongfully Convicted of Murder 20 Years Ago

A man by the name of Larry McKee, who spent 20 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder, walked out of court today a free man. 

 "Satisfied but I'm not happy at all what happened," said Larry McKee. "How they knew from the beginning that they knew it wasn't me."

A judge agreed to throw out the conviction after the Bronx District Attorney told the judge a key piece of evidence was not shared with the defense.

McKee did not match the description of the killer given by the victim before he died. 

According to a witness, the victim's last words before he died were "a Spanish guy". Another witness also told detectives the gunman was Hispanic. McKee is African American. 

"This was particularly disturbing," said Assistant District Attorney Risa Gerson. "Several other witnesses had come forward and stated that they saw a Hispanic shooter. The people are now requesting that the conviction be vacated in the interest of justice."

Larry McKee has always insisted he did not commit the crime. Now he has been heard

"Happy somewhat, but not all the way," he said.

I hope after McKee have time to let everything settle down that he sits down with a Lawyer and he sue for the highest amount possible for all the years he unjustly served in prison that took time from his life that he'll never get back. This was definitely race motivated, and what makes it even more sickening are the comments under the news articles from some Caucasians who still view this man as guilty or will only commit murder in the near future anyway and suggested he should've been kept in there, despite being innocent.
