Two men who faced the death penalty for a 1975 murder have walked free from prison when all the charges against them were dismissed after a witness said his testimony was 'all lies'.
Ricky Jackson and Wiley Bridgeman, 57 and 60, were convicted of murdering Harry Franks, a businessman in Cleveland, Ohio - based largely on the testimony of a 12-year-old who said he saw the murder.
The two, along with Bridgeman's brother Ronnie, were given death sentences after Eddie Vernon testified in court.
Released: Wiley Bridgeman, 60, was freed Friday from Cuyahoga County Jail after spending 39 years in jail for the murder of a Cleveland businessman


Free men: Wiley Bridgeman, left, and Ricky Jackson, right, were released Friday from Cuyahoga County Jail after 39 years behind bars. They were originally on death row, but had their sentences commuted to life following a Supreme Court decision in 1978 outlawing the death penalty as it then existed

Third man: Ronnie Bridgeman, who has since changed his name to Kwame Ajamu, was also put on death row for the murders, but was released in 2003

Victim: The three men were wrongly convicted of murdering Harry Franks, a businessman in Cleveland, Ohio
All three sentences were commuted to life in 1978 after a Supreme Court ruling, but the men were still saddled with decades behind bars. Ronnie Bridgeman was released in 2003 for separate reasons.
He was reunited with the other two inmates Friday when they walked free from Cuyahoga County Jail after prosecutors asked that the charges be dismissed.
