5:56Now PlayingKwame Ajamu was just 17 years old when he was wrongfully convicted of murder back in 1975 in Ohio.
The state’s entire case was built on the testimony of just one witness who later said police pressured him to point the finger at him.
Ajamu spent 28 years behind bars, several of them on death row before being exonerated in 2014. Now that he’s cleared his name, he’s dedicated his life to helping others and abolishing the death penalty.
Ajamu joins Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to share his inspiring story.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
