Kevin Strickland was convicted of three Kansas City murders in 1978, largely based on the pivotal testimony of an eyewitness who later recanted, say prosecutors and officials.
A 61-year-old Missouri man who has spent more than four decades behind bars after being convicted of three murders was wrongly convicted and should be exonerated, prosecutors say.
Kevin Strickland was just 18 when the lone survivor of a 1978 shotgun attack inside a Kansas City house identified him as one of the gunmen. Cynthia Douglas was shot in the leg in an assault that killed three others Sherrie Black, John Walker, and Larry Ingram.
Prosecutors in Missouri said the evidence used to convict Kevin Strickland of capital murder for a triple homicide as a teenager has since been eviscerated and he must be released at once.
