12:18Now PlayingShareef Cousin was just 17 years old when he was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
He was the youngest person ever sent to death row in Louisiana. His conviction largely rested on the eyewitness testimony of the victim’s girlfriend, even though she testified she wasn’t wearing her glasses at the time.
Cousin spent three years on death row before being exonerated in 1999. Now that he’s cleared his name, he has dedicated his life to helping wrongfully convicted people and at-risk youth in his community.
Cousin joins Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to share his inspiring journey to freedom.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
