Exoneree Roosevelt Glenn
Roosevelt Glenn grew up in Gary, Indiana, enjoying sports and the outdoors. On January 2, 1990, he was arrested for a crime he did not commit. He was wrongfully convicted, and imprisoned for 16 years, 8 months, 5 days and 12 hours. His innocence was later proven by new TrueAllele® computing on old DNA evidence, leading to his exoneration. Author Glenn talks about how he endured a tragic failure of criminal justice. |
