JEFF TITUS
Jeff Titus spent over 21 years in prison for something he did not do. Owner of some rural property, he was accused of murdering two hunters in the area with virtually no evidence. Jeff now lives with his sister as he tried to get used to living outside prison walls. There are some great write-ups for more info by clicking on his picture.
KELVIN NOLEN
Kelvin Nolen was wrongfully convicted of a gas station murder. The Michigan Innocence Clinic proved that the killer in the video is significantly taller than Mr. Nolen. They found a woman who was in the video who got a good look at the killer, knows Mr. Nolen and confirmed that the man she saw was not him, providing “new evidence”. With 8 years of his life missing, Kelvin is considering getting his license in order to be a truck driver. Kelvin Nolen Kelvin Nolen was wrongfully convicted of a gas station murder.

JOSHUN EDWARDS
Joshun was convicted of murder in Oct 2007, based on dubious testimony and a jailhouse snitch. In 2014, family members FOIAed documents, never turned over to the defense. Discrepancies between the original and later testimony could have been used to question the reliability. The MI Supreme Court said they deserve a retrial, and the county chose not to retry. Joshun is currently looking for work.

MACK HOWELL
After 7 1/2 years of wrongful imprisonment, Mack is glad to be out and living with his sister.
