There was just one problem: he(Terance Calhoun) didn’t do it. A follow-up investigation in 2019 found a litany of red flags in how the case was handled, including an unrecorded police interrogation and the fact that Mr Calhoun, who was found to be cognitively deficient, had been questioned without a lawyer present. On April 27th, after15 years behind bars, he was exonerated.

只有一个问题：他(Terance Calhoun)没有这样做。2019年的一项后续调查发现，该案件的处理方式存在一连串危险信号，包括未记录的警方审讯，以及发现具认知缺陷的卡尔霍恩在没有律师在场的情况下接受审讯。4月27日，在身陷囹圄15年后，他被无罪释放。

Since 1989 the National Registry of Exonerations (NRE) has recorded more than 3,000 exonerations in America, amounting to 27,080 years of lost freedom. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Samuel Gross, one of the project’s co-founders, estimates that the wrongful-conviction rate may be as high as 2%, or some 20,000 false felony convictions a year. Finding and overturning those injustices is essential work—for Mr Calhoun, now in his mid-30s, and the many others like him.

自1989年以来，美国除罪释放登记机构(NRE)记录了美国3000多桩平反案件，相当于失去27,080年的自由。这仅仅是冰山一角。该项目联合创始人塞缪尔·葛罗斯(Samuel Gross)估计，错误定罪率可能高达2%，即每年约有20,000件错误重罪定罪。发现并推翻这些不公正现象是一项重要的工作——对于现年35岁上下的卡尔霍恩和许多像他一样的人来说。
