AL HR90

Recognizes the injustice suffered by Anthony Ray Hinton, who was arrested for murder in 1985 despite lack of fingerprints, eyewitness testimony, and evidence that he was at work during the murders.

Hinton was convicted and sentenced to death, spending nearly three decades on death row in solitary confinement, including losing his mother during his incarceration.

Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on March 11, 2015, charges were dismissed with no evidence connecting Hinton to the crime, and he was released from prison on April 3, 2015.

Extends the House of Representatives' deepest apologies to Hinton for his wrongful conviction and nearly three decades on death row.

Commits to reviewing existing laws regarding compensation for the wrongfully incarcerated to identify necessary improvements ensuring fairness and equality in the compensation process.
