Willie Stokes

Willie Stokes walks from a state prison in Chester, Pa., on, Jan. 4, 2022, after his 1984 murder conviction was overturned because of perjured witness testimony. Stokes, whose murder case officially dismissed at a court hearing Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022, said he was not bitter but "just excited to move forward" in life. He was also filing a lawsuit Thursday against the city over the nearly four decades he spent in prison. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
