Four years ago, DNA tests led a Florida judge to drop Alan Crotzer’s 130-year prison sentence and set him free. Crotzer had spent 24 years — more than half his life — in prison for a crime spree he had nothing to do with. After DNA proved Crotzer’s innocence, his co-defendant admitted that he had committed the crime with another man, not Crotzer. Today, Crotzer speaks frequently to audiences across the country about the causes of wrongful conviction and reforms to prevent future injustice.
