In New York, an African-American man wrongfully convicted of murder has been released after nearly 25 years behind bars. Jonathan Fleming was convicted of a 1989 murder in Brooklyn. But he was actually more than 1,000 miles away, in Florida, visiting Disney World with his family at the time of the murder. Investigators unearthed ample evidence of his innocence, including an Orlando police report confirming workers at a Florida hotel remembered Fleming, and a receipt, found in police records, showing he paid a phone bill at the hotel just hours before the murder. Fleming said the receipt was in his pocket at the time of his arrest, but none of the evidence was turned over to the defense before his trial. Fleming spoke to CNN after his release.

Jonathan Fleming: “I waited for this day to come, 24-and-a-half years for this nightmare to be over, and this day is finally here. I dreamt about this many nights, and I’m finally a free man.”
