Man Wrongly Convicted Of Murder Freed After 15 Years, Victim's Sister Knew He Was Innocent The Whole Time!

6-foot-3, 250-pound former football player was convicted of a crime committed by 5-foot-7 150 pound man. While federal defenders battled for 10 years to undo that gross injustice, Salter says he matured, embracing faith. "I had natural life, so I had no choice but to submit to God because there were days that I didn't think that I could make it," he sad.

Besides his lawyers, Salter is most thankful for the murder victim's sister.

"From day one, Joan Thomas, man, the victim's sister. She was by my back. And that's strange that a victim's sister would be behind a guy. But she actually knew that I didn't do the crime," he said.

"She stood up at sentencing and said you had the wrong guy. She told that to the trial judge," his lawyer, Jonathan Epstein, said the sister told the judge but nobody listened to her. Posted by Abdul
