Charles Jackson retraced the same steps he took in 1991, walking into Casino East bar on Cleveland’s east side, that night he had no idea just how much those steps would cost him.

“I was numb and it just felt like it was someone else, I was outside my body,” said Jackson.

That time in prison cost Jackson everything, he missed his daughter‘s birth after he was convicted, and he also lost his mother, his son and three siblings. A Cuyahoga County judge eventually ruled that Jackson was wrongfully imprisoned and dismissed the charges against him, he spent 27 years in prison.

“Unfortunately, unless this prosecutor’s office takes this very seriously and makes some serious change in the culture and the way they prosecute crimes, we’re going to continue to see wrongful convictions,” said Gelsomino. “We’re going to continue to see people rotting away from crimes they did not commit and it’s going to continue to cost taxpayers a lot of money.”
