Innocent on Death Row Freed After 17 Years
Porter, 43, walked from jail after 17 years on death row amid new evidence and a confession by Alstory Simon. Northwestern journalism students aided by Professor David Protess questioned the conviction for the 1993 murders of Jerry Hillard and Marilyn Green. Porter embraced students and a professor, saying he was glad to be free but bitter about the long wait. He remains charged with the two killings, as prosecutors consider next steps.
