A man who has spent 20 years in jail for a murder he says he didnt commit is expected to be released after several witnesses reacanted their identification of him. Apparently 5 of the 6 witnesses, including the vicitms son, recanted their identification of him as the murderer. I think this is a very bittersweet story. This man is getting out of jail and he will be free, but it took 20 years for that to happen. "Franky (the convict) is going to have some life and some freedom, but he lost so much," said Linda Starr, the legal director of the Northern California Innocence Project, which worked on the case.
