Ron Bishop

Ron Bishop is a pivotal figure in a tragic miscarriage of justice that occurred in Baltimore in 1983. At just 14 years old, he provided false testimony that led to the wrongful conviction of three teenagers for the murder of his best friend, DeWitt Duckett. For over 30 years, Bishop carried the burden of guilt for his role in their convictions. In 2019, a review of the case prompted him to come forward and tell the truth, helping to exonerate Alfred Chestnut, Andrew Stewart, and Ransom Watkins, who had spent decades in prison. Bishop's journey highlights the complexities of truth, memory, and the profound impact of systemic failures in the justice system.
