After surviving 23 years of being wrongfully convicted, Ricky Kidd has chosen to turn his negative into a positive, has decided to be better opposed to bitterness, and to walk in his FAITH over FEAR. Ricky Kidd is an Author, a Public Speaker, Justice Advocate, and a Playwright. He also now has the pleasure of serving on the board of the Innocence Network. Ricky joined the Midwest Innocence Project Team in September of 2019; only one month after he was released from prison.
