Man freed on bail after 41 years on US death row

Original: Man released on bail after 41 years on death row in US https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwdr71xpj4gpo?at_medium=RSS&a

A man who spent 41 years on death row in the United States has been released on bail, according to a BBC News report. The case is drawing attention to questions about wrongful convictions, the length of his imprisonment, and the reliability of the death penalty in the American justice system. The report did not immediately identify the man or the state involved.

Why now: The extraordinary length of time spent on death row before release makes the case a striking example in ongoing debates about the US death penalty and wrongful convictions.
