An Oklahoma man, Glynn Simmons, who was convicted of murder in a liquor store robbery in 1975 was exonerated in court on Tuesday after he had spent more than 48 years in prison. Simmons, 70, was declared innocent in a ruling by Judge Amy Palumbo of Oklahoma County District Court, NY Times reports. Simmons was released on bond in July after Judge Palumbo agreed during a status hearing to vacate the judgment and sentence at the request of Vicki Zemp Behenna, the Oklahoma County district attorney who had been reviewing his case.
