More than 20 people convicted in cases tied to former Chicago police Detective Reynaldo Guevara have been exonerated, according to the Exoneration Project.
David Colon, who now goes by David Lugo, spent 26 years in prison fighting his conviction and was eventually paroled in 2017.
"I’m innocent," he told the Chicago Sun-Times after his hearing. "You just want to prove to everyone you’re not the monster they say." "I’ve kept my head down and just worked," Lugo said of how he has spent his time since being released from prison. He looks forward to the day he can apply for a job without having to tell them about his murder conviction.
