Johnny Hincapie from Bayside, New York, was behind bars for 25 years for false accusations of the murder of Brian Watkins.
However, in 2015, he was released after the judge vacated his conviction. And in 2017, his conviction was dismissed.
The detectives allegedly forced Hincapie into a false confession, with a false promise to take him straight home.
To the dismay of the 18-year-old Hispanic guy, Hincapie, the wrongful confession landed him 25 years behind bars.
However, justice was served in 2015 as the judge declared Johnny Hincapie innocent and not involved in the murder of Brian Watkins.
The Bayside resident was 18 when the incident occurred; he came out of prison aged 43.
