2:28Now PlayingTwo men who were teenagers when they were convicted for robbing a corrupt police officer, have had their convictions overturned - fifty years later.
The men, part of the so-called Stockwell Six, were arrested in 1972 and stood trial on a case built largely on the word of Derek Ridgewell - a detective sergeant who was later sent to prison for corruption.
One of the men, Cleveland Davidson, told Sky News that his father died thinking he was guilty.
