Photos of US-based man circulating all over the internet has left social media users awashed with shock after it was revealed that he was wrongfully jailed for 43 years following a crime he was never involved in.
According to credible sources, the now 62-aged man, Kevin Strickland was being convicted for killing three people.
During the 1978 incident, four people were shot but only one survived and mistakenly mentioned Strickland as the perpetrator.
He was sentenced to 50 years but luckily on Tuesday, 23 November, Strickland was released after being found innocent.
Speaking yesterday, the old man appreciated everyone who came through to help him revealing that he is still in disbelief that his days came earlier than expected.
