I was honored to work with Liliana Segura this week on a story that she'd been reporting on since 2017 for The Intercept - Barry Jones' release from Death Row, after serving 29 years for a murder he didn't commit. His conviction was overturned in 2018 based on evidence that wasn't presented at his first trial, which proved he was not responsible for the death of 4 year old Rachel Gray in the early 1990s, but the Supreme Court overturned that decision last year, against their own precedent, based on a technicality.

As Liliana details in the story here, the day didn't quite go according to plan, with corrections officers dropping Jones off unceremoniously at a Greyhound station in downtown Tucson with no phone, no money, and no idea where to go, after previously telling his family that he would be released from the jail and they could meet him there. But after a frantic search, he was found near his lawyers' office, where he was finally reunited with his family.
