Detroit man walks free after fighting murder conviction for 48 years
DETROIT – A man who spent close to 50 years in prison for a crime is finally walking away free. Ray Gray says he never committed the crime.
It was 1973 when Gray last tasted freedom. Richard Nixon was in office, the Vietnam War officially came to an end and the Elvis Aloha from Hawaii concert was seen on screens around the world.
Since then Gray and his family have fought to clear him of the murder. He’s finally a free man.
