Innocent Person Almost Put To Death

Anthony Porter

In 1982, Porter was arrested for the killings of two Chicago teenagers. Several witnesses, including some who had been robbed by Porter, implicated him in the crime. Porter was sentenced to death. Porter filed for several appeals during the following years, which got his death sentence pushed back several times. In 1998, just 48 hours before his execution, Porter’s sentence was pushed back again due to evidence he may have been moderately retarded and incapable of understanding his punishment. In 1999, the wife of the real killer, Alstory Simon, came forward and said she saw her husban kill the teens. Four days later, Simon confessed to the killings and two days after that Porter was released from death row, where he had spent 17 years.
