\"\"<\/a>Juan Roberto Melendez spent seven-teen years, eight months, and one day on Florida\u2019s death row for a crime he did not commit. Upon his release on January 3, 2002, he became the 99th death row prisoner in the United States to be released with evidence of innocence since 1973. Beyond the death penalty, Mr. Melendez\u2019s story is an energizing and inspiring story of hope and survival that resonates with people all across the political and socio-economic spectrum, inspiring many to activism and public service.<\/p>\n
