Serving 18 years for a crime he didn’t commit
A citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin just walked free after serving 18 years in prison for a wrongful conviction.

Danny Wilber spent those 18 years behind bars working to prove his innocence. With help from his partner and legal representation, he was recently exonerated. His journey sheds light on the difficulty that those who are improperly convicted face to prove their innocence.
