Herman Lindsey was wrongfully convicted and sent to Florida’s death row in 2006. He endured 3 years on Florida's death row before the Florida Supreme Court ruled in July 2009, in a unanimous verdict, that there wasn’t enough evidence to find Herman guilty of anything, much less sentence him to death, and that he did not receive a fair trial.
Herman became the 135th person to be exonerated from death row since the death penalty was reinstated in the U.S., and the 23rd person to be exonerated from Florida’s death row. Florida has the highest rate of exonerations from death row of any state of the USA.
Herman currently resides in Florida where he works with at-risk youth. He is the Executive Director of Witness to Innocence, on the Board of Directors of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty and served as an Ambassador for Represent Justice. He hosts the online show "Cruel Justice" where he interviews guests on topics related to criminal justice reform.
