Former prosecutor apologises to innocent man he put on death row in powerful video

In 1984 yard worker Glenn Ford, an African-American, was wrongly tried and convicted of the armed robbery and murder of jeweller Isadore Rozeman in Louisiana.

Ford, who was 34 with two young children and one on the way at the time, was sentenced to death after being found guilty by an all-white jury.

After his wrongful conviction, Ford spent 30 years on death row in a tiny room, becoming one of the longest serving prisoners on death row in US history, until new evidence cleared his name in 2014.
