Ransom Watkins

Ransom Watkins was wrongfully convicted in 1983 for the murder of DeWitt Duckett in Baltimore alongside Alfred Chestnut and Andrew Stewart. Their conviction stemmed from false testimonies given by their peers, including Ron Bishop, who later recanted his statements. Watkins spent 36 years in prison before being exonerated in 2019, highlighting the tragic impact of systemic failures in the justice system and the long-lasting effects of wrongful imprisonment.
