Jerry Miller spent more than 25 years behind bars for kidnapping, rape and robbery — crimes he didn't commit. Miller was released from prison in 2006. In 2007, after decades of insisting he was innocent, Miller was finally vindicated: He became the 200th American to be cleared by DNA evidence of a wrongful conviction.

Miller's story is now part of a new book called Anatomy of Innocence. It fleshes out personal accounts of wrongful convictions, with a twist: In each chapter, a mystery or thriller writer tells the story of a real-life exoneree.

Proud to wear my @calibercollection bangle and my #exoneree ring by @bloodsworth. There is a fund raising effort so more exonerees and death row exonerees can get the rings.

The death of Troy Davis made me think of an amazing project in 2008. My fellow peers from the DreamYard ACTION Project put this video together to shed light on exonerees, and the Innocence Project.

It's a perfect example as to why we must get rid of the death penalty!
