Ryan Matthews and Travis Hayes
This week marks the third anniversary of Travis Hayes’ exoneration in Louisiana. After his co-defendant Ryan Matthews was exonerated from Louisiana’s death row in 2004, Travis Hayes spent more than two additional years in prison for a crime that neither man committed. Hayes and Matthews were 17 years old when they were arrested in New Orleans for a murder they didn’t commit. One-third of all people exonerated through testing to date were under 22 when they were arrested.
