Wrongfully accused man released after spending 3 years in Rikers

Julian Douglas is thankful to be free after spending three long years in Rikers Island for a crime he did not commit. “The worst part wasn’t physical, it was more mental. That’s where most of my pain came from,” he said. On March 30 2015, 70-year-old Leta Webb was killed with a single gunshot to the head after answering the door to her family’s home in Jamaica, Queens.. Detectives began a manhunt for Webb’s killer and brought Douglas in for questioning. He was on parole and lived in the area. From the very beginning he insisted he was innocent. A witness placed him near the scene of the crime, picking him out of a lineup.
