convicted<\/a> of the crimes in 1978, and was found guilty on all charges the following year.<\/p>\nHe has pleaded innocence ever since he was arrested for the deaths of Sherrie Black, 22, Larry Ingram, 22, and John Walker, 20, who were targeted in a ransacking in Kansas City on 25 April 1978.<\/p>\n
Strickland was released from Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri on Tuesday,\u00a0Nov. 23, hours after the judge reached his exoneration verdict.<\/p>\n
His is thought to be one of the longest cases of wrongful conviction in American history.<\/p>\n
It’s said fellow inmates in the prison cheered and beat on bars in jail cells as he walked out of prison.<\/p>\n
Newly freed\u00a0Mr Strickland said to reporters outside court that he “didn’t think this day would come.”<\/p>\n
According to The Kansas City Newspaper he also claimed on his way out that “they knew from Day One that I didn\u2019t commit this crime”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Judge James Welsh wrote in his ruling: “Under these unique circumstances, the Court\u2019s confidence in Strickland\u2019s conviction is so undermined that it cannot stand, and the judgment of conviction must be set aside.<\/p>\n
“The State of Missouri shall immediately discharge Kevin Bernard Strickland from its custody.”<\/p>\n
There was no physical evidence to connect Strickland to the crime scene, as he\u00a0told detectives he was at home watching television at the time of the murders.<\/p>\n
He was convicted based on evidence given by witness Cynthia Douglas, who escaped during the deadly ransack of the property.<\/p>\n
In later years she tried to have her testimony recanted after saying she was pressured by police but died before this could be achieved.<\/p>\n
