thony Ray Hinton survived for 30 years on Alabama's death row. His story is
a decades-long journey to exoneration and freedom. In 1985\, Mr. Hinton wa
s convicted of the unsolved murders of two fast-food restaurant managers ba
sed on the testimony of ballistics experts for the State who claimed that t
he crime bullets came from a dusty revolver found in Mr. Hinton's mother’s
closet. Without the benefit of a competent expert to challenge the State’s
theory (Mr. Hinton’s lawyer hired a ballistics expert who was blind in one
eye)\, an all-white jury convicted Mr. Hinton and he was sentenced to death
. After years of petitioning to have the revolver re-analyzed\, three indep
endent experts concluded that the bullets could not have been fired from hi
s mother’s revolver. With the assistance of the Equal Justice Initiative\,
led by attorney Bryan Stevenson\, Mr. Hinton was freed in 2015. Since his r
elease\, Mr. Hinton has traveled the world sharing his story and discussing
the changes that need to be made to prevent similar injustices from happen
ing to other people. In 2018\, Mr. Hinton published The Sun Does Shine: How
I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row\, which was selected for Oprah’s Boo
k Club and is a New York Times bestseller. In 2019\, he was awarded an hono
rary doctorate from St. Bonaventure University.\n\n \n\nThis event is free
