For the first time in 40 years, Terry Talley is a free man. The 63-year-old spent the majority of his life in prison for crimes he did not commit.
Talley walked out of the Dooly State Prison on Feb. 23. He described the moment as a “blessing.”
“Today is such a blessing. Words can’t describe how it feels to finally be free after all these years,” Talley said. “I’m so thankful for my family, who kept me going all this time, and for the Georgia Innocence Project, who never gave up.”
