Kevin Strickland spent his 62nd birthday behind bars. It’s the 43rd time he has spent a birthday in prison and says he desperately hopes it will be his last.

The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office is the same prosecutor’s office that originally tried Strickland for three Kansas City, Missouri, murders in 1978. It announced that it now believes Strickland is innocent after the key witness and only victim to survive the attack recanted her story.

Weeks later, Strickland is still behind bars. Already having suffered several heart attacks, he says he doesn’t think he has “a lot of time left,” and sometimes needs a wheelchair to get around.
