A California judge has declared two men innocent after they spent 17 years in prison for attempted murder in a 2004 shooting incident. The men will get $900,000 each as compensation.
After the judge ruled, Glass and Rayford embraced each other and their attorneys. Outside the courthouse, the men were cheered by family members and supporters. Rayford, clutching his baby daughter, called it an "amazing" feeling to have their records finally wiped clean and their reputations restored.
"I thought about this day for so long. I thought about it when I was locked up for 17 years. I thought about it for my last two years being free. I waited for this day because, you know, I knew I was innocent of every crime they said I committed," he said.
