Huwe Burton was wrongfully convicted in New York of murdering his mother and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison at the age of 16 years old. The wrongful conviction was based on a false confession, coerced by police despite them having compelling evidence of his innocence. Huwe spent more than 20 years wrongfully incarcerated. He was released on parole in 2009. In January of 2019, Mr. Burton was finally exonerated. Today, he lectures around the country about false confessions and unreliable police interrogation techniques. He is an avid marathon runner and has been featured on HBO’s Real Sports with Byrant Gumbel.
