Ryan was convicted for the 2001 murder of local reporter Kent Heitholt based solely on the testimony of two ‘witnesses’ who have now admitted they committed perjury. There are even members of the original jury who, based on this new evidence, feel Ryan deserves a new trial. Yet Ryan Ferguson remains locked up, a victim of the Missouri justice system. There is no case in the United States where the only alleged eyewitnesses recanted in open court, the conviction has been upheld, and the person remains incarcerated.
President Obama should give this innocent man a pardon
