Two Black Men Freed From Death Row in 1967
In New Orleans on Wednesday, two men once on U S death row, Clifton Porch and the other unnamed, were freed after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned their convictions. The court ruled black defendants were excluded from jury service, leading to a wrongful death sentence for the rape of a white woman in 1953. The release followed years in prison and a claim by a survivor that they had been punished justly.
