Oklahoma judge rules a man who wrongfully spent nearly 50 years in prison for murder is innocent

  • A 71-year-old man, Glynn Simmons, has been exonerated after spending nearly 50 years in prison for a murder he did not commit.
  • Simmons, along with a co-defendant, was wrongfully convicted in 1975 based on the testimony of a traumatized teenager. The only evidence against them was her testimony.
  • The ruling opens the possibility for Simmons to seek compensation and pursue a federal lawsuit against Oklahoma City and law enforcement involved in his arrest and conviction.
