Charlie is free!!! The day we have been waiting for since Charlie was arrested and wrongfully convicted of a murder he did not commit. The fight to clear Charlie’s name continues. #freedom#wrongfulconviction @MarianneKeady @EFMoriarty@LandonMagnusson@The_MIP
Despite the evidence pointing to his innocence, Marcellus Williams remains on death row more than two decades after his initial arrest. https://t.co/nsiKvFGUsE
Today is the day to #FreeCharlesErickson! He's been paroled after nearly two decades behind bars for crimes he did not commit.
We are so glad he gets to return home to his family and pray that his innocence will one day be recognized by the state of Missouri.
Dr. Cleary's important report on youths who give false confessions, as Charlie did, especially when threatened with the death penalty:

Mike Politte is a free man! Mike has been fighting his #wrongfulconviction since he was 14—when he lost his mother and his freedom. 23 years later, Mike was finally released on parole today but the fight for exoneration continues.
18 years ago today. Police stopped Charlie in his college parking lot and took him downtown to "ask some questions about his car." At that moment he should have asked for an attorney. Tell this story to your kids & grandkids. #wrongfullyaccused#Corruption#FreeCharlesErickson
“We Stand By Charles Erickson. Charles Erickson has been sentenced to prison since March 2004 for a crime he did not and could not have committed. Should never have been arrested, should have never plead guilty to a crime he did not commit.”
Thank You @spoonfed22!
Charlie is officially now a certified paralegal. In the future, he may study more in a specialized field of law like criminal law or family law. #FreeCharlesErickson
Charlie is delighted to have completed all the coursework to become a certified paralegal. Now, as he waits for parole, he continues to train Jasmine, is learning Spanish, working in the wood shop and writing a screenplay. #FreeCharlesErickson @MarianneKeady
Charlie was given Jasmine to train today. She is a blue heeler mix, like the photo in this post (not her). Jasmine only has one eye. She is 8 months old, sweet and very intelligent. Jasmine will be ready for adoption in about 12 weeks. Watch this space.#FreeCharlesErickson
Innocent, yet in prison for far too long. Charlie has breathed incarcerated stale air not the fresh air of freedom he should've been breathing since 2004.We, as a team must do everything in our power to help Charlie regain his freedom. https://t.co/7fiBvv9v1W

Fathead is going to his forever home on Thursday. Charlie will be assigned a new dog to train. The Amazing Race with Ryan Ferguson premiered last Wednesday. Charlie saw it & was glad that Ryan & Dusty took first place! https://t.co/hNedILFR6i #FreeCharlesErickson
@ThotomusPryme @MarianneKeady Have you ever heard of a coerced confession? Do you know that he was threatened with the death penalty? You might want to read the facts surrounding the case before making a statement like that. https://t.co/mIBRWWodHs #FreeCharlesErickson
Holiday greetings to you all! May you have a happy, healthy new year. Thank you for your continued support of Charlie. #BringCharlieHome#FreeCharlesErickson @MarianneKeady
@ObsessedNet@unjustunsolved@maggiefreleng Thanks for sharing. An adoptive family has made a deposit to adopt Fathead. If they pass "inspection" by the animal shelter, Fathead will be going to his forever home, rather than back to the shelter when he finishes his training with Charlie.
