TL;DR
Glynn Simmons, a 71-year-old man from Oklahoma, has been exonerated after spending nearly 50 years in prison for a murder he did not commit.

Oklahoma County District Judge Amy Palumbo officially declared him innocent, making him the longest imprisoned inmate to be exonerated in US history. Simmons plans to seek compensation for his wrongful conviction but is currently relying on donations to sustain himself.
