In 1974, Delbert Tibbs was convicted of murder and rape near Fort Myers, Florida. His trial was riddled with corruption, including testimony by a jailhouse informant who later acknowledged that
he provided false testimony in the hopes that his own sentence would be reduced. After spending years on death row as an innocent man, Delbert is now free and lives in Chicago. His story is featured in the play "Exonerated," and he is currently realizing his lifelong dream of becoming a writer.
