Exonerated Man: Hard Not to Be Bitter, But Helping Others Helps Me

Chicago - The long nightmare is over for four men convicted and later cleared in the 1994 murder of a Chicago woman. Cook County prosecutors dropped charges Tuesday against the so-called Englewood Four . Michael Saunders, Harold Richardson, Terrill Swift and Vincent Thames will not face a new trial.

The four all were teens when they were tried and convicted for the 1994 rape and murder of Nina Glover. Their convictions were thrown out last fall after DNA evidence linked a serial killer to the crime, who has since died.

We were joined by two of the Englewood four, Terrill Swift and Harold Richardson, and their lawyer Josh Tepfer, from the Center for Wrongful Convictions.

Tepfer said this case and the Dixmoor Five case, another recent overturned conviction, shows that uncorroborated confessions from young teens cannot be enough to convict them. He also said the tactics used to interrogate young people need to be overhauled.
