Glynn Simmons: I spent 48 years in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Here's how I fought my way to freedom
Glynn Simmons was released last year after almost half a century behind bars. Now 70, he describes his torment and terror as he battled to overturn one of the worst miscarriages of justice in US history.
Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn't have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.
Simmons was later charged with the murder of a 30-year-old liquor store worker, Carolyn Sue Rogers, who had been shot in the head during a separate robbery.
Perhaps the most shocking thing about Simmons's story is that he needed no new evidence to prove his innocence; it had been there all the time. He told the Tulsa-based lawyer Joe Norwood the same thing he had been telling other lawyers for decades; the only difference is that Norwood listened to him.

Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn't have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.
Simmons was later charged with the murder of a 30-year-old liquor store worker, Carolyn Sue Rogers, who had been shot in the head during a separate robbery.
Perhaps the most shocking thing about Simmons's story is that he needed no new evidence to prove his innocence; it had been there all the time. He told the Tulsa-based lawyer Joe Norwood the same thing he had been telling other lawyers for decades; the only difference is that Norwood listened to him.
