On April 24, 2002, nearly 10 years after he was first
convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, Ray Krone was cleared of all charges.
Ray, who was once a supporter the death penalty, now speaks
against it. He now speaks publicly about his experiences on death row and in
prison and hopes to educate audiences on the flaws in the justice system and
why the death penalty should be abolished. Ultimately, he doesn’t want another
person to endure the same experiences he did.
I hope this series of posts serves as a commemoration of Ray
Krone and all the work he’s done against the death penalty since his release.
On the day of his release, when Ray told the reporter that his life was about
the “next 10 years” rather than the 10 years he spent in prison, I feel he
really meant what he said.
