Danny Burton was just 19 years old when he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Leonard Ruffin in 1987. He spent more than 32 years behind bars. According to the suit the criminal case against Burton was built primarily upon witness statements, but key witnesses who testified at his trial later recanted - saying they were forced into giving false statements.
