StoryCorps: Man Wrongly Accused of Murder Talks of Prison and Redemption

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kcur/local-kcur-931118.mp3

Kansas City, MO – Darryl Burton was 22 years old, and had just enrolled in college, when he was found guilty of a murder he did not commit. Burton was finally exonerated in 2008, at the age of 46. He talks with his friend and case manager, Jeff Page of the Catholic Charities re-entry program, about his incarceration.
