Nigerians Reacts As Wrongfully Convicted Man Freed After 34 Years In Jail by OpzyGist(m): 1:14pm On Mar 15, 2023
Sidney Holmes, a man who was wrongfully convicted of armed robbery in 1989, has been released from prison after serving more than 34 years of his 400-year sentence. The state of Florida conducted a thorough reinvestigation of the case and determined that there were reasonable doubts about his guilt.




Broward County State Attorney Harold F. Pryor made the announcement on Tuesday, stating that Holmes was originally arrested in October 1988 for allegedly serving as the driver for two unidentified men who robbed a man and a woman outside a store at gunpoint. The men also stole the male victim’s car.


The unit discovered that the only evidence linking Holmes to the crime was an incorrect identification of him and the vehicle used in the robbery. As a result, the decision was made to release him from prison.
