- WCNC Charlotte sat down with Ronnie Long, a Concord man who spent more than 40 years in prison for a crime he said he never committed.
A few weeks ago, a federal appeals court ruled his rights were violated and the state threw out the conviction.
So what’s life like for him after so many years behind bars? Ronnie Long’s wife, Ashleigh Long, offered a glimpse into his first night at home. She tweeted, ‘I’m totally laying in bed next to my husband’
“I feel like I'm in a dream,” Ashleigh Long told WCNC Charlotte.
Ashleigh Long says Ronnie made it clear what he wants to do next.
“He definitely wants to eat a steak, first thing when he gets out, he wants to get his driver’s license,” said Ashleigh Long.
Ronnie Long spent 44 years in prison, after being convicted of rape by an all-white jury in 1976. This week, a federal appeals court ruled the state violated Long’s rights when they didn’t take a closer look at the possibility he was innocent, pointing to a patter of ‘extreme and continuous police misconduct’. That ruling prompted the state to throw out his conviction.
