Man freed after 26 years on death row
A man who spent nearly 26 years on death row in Louisiana has walked free, hours after a judge approved the state’s motion to strike out the man’s murder conviction for the 1983 killing of a jeweller.
Glenn Ford, 64, had been on death row since August 1988 in connection with the death of 56-year-old Isadore Rozeman, a Shreveport jeweller and watchmaker for whom Ford had done occasional yard work. Ford always denied killing Mr Rozeman.
