11 Investigates explored the realities of agreeing to a dark plea.
WTOL Lead Investigator Brian Dugger, photojournalist Eric Rerucha accept proclamation honoring investigations into Cedar Point, fire escrow and Guilty Without Proof.
More than 3,000 people have been exonerated since 1989, and many of them after work by CIUs.
The Judges for Justice group credits the community and WTOL's "Guilty without Proof" for the agreement that freed the men and call for a conviction integrity unit.
After the two men were released from prison this week, the subjects of WTOL 11 Investigates' Guilty Without Proof project will have to reintegrate to life outside.
