Innocence Blog: California Exoneree Speaks Out Against Death Penalty
12.10.12
Innocence Blog: California Exoneree Speaks Out Against Death Penalty: It has been a year since Obie Anthony’s murder conviction was overturned after 17 years of wrongful imprisonment. Anthony’s conviction was vacated after the Northern California Innocence Project presented evidence that a key trial witness lied to the jury about Anthony’s involvement and has since recanted.
�
Anthony was 19 when he was wrongfully convicted. Though the District Attorney sought the death penalty, he was instead sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In an op-ed that appeared in The Reporter, an edition of the San Jose Mercury News, Anthony calls for support of California’s Proposition 34 to abolish the death penalty.
