[Mass Incarceration News\ Maryland Exoneration]
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby: “These three men were convicted, as children, because of police and prosecutorial misconduct. What the state, my office, did to them is wrong. There is no way we can ever repair the damage done to them…“I want to thank these men from the bottom of my heart for persevering for decades to prove their innocence. They deserve so much more than an apology. We owe them real compensation – and I plan to fight for it.”
