Bullet points of He Was in Prison for 48 Years for a Crime He Didn’t Commit. His Restitution Is Appalling.
- Glynn Simmons holds the record for the longest time served in prison by an innocent person in US history.
- After 48 years, 1 month, and 18 days, he was exonerated.
- Despite receiving $7.15 million from Edmond City Council and $175,000 from Oklahoma, the compensation seems inadequate considering the injustice he faced.
- Simmons, who battled cancer and lost almost five decades of his life to incarceration, emphasized the need for reformation in the criminal justice system to prevent such miscarriages of justice and ensure proper compensation for exonerees.
