Summary: An Ohio inmate, Tyrae Byers, who had been imprisoned for nearly four decades, was released from prison on February 17, 2023, with the help of the Ohio Innocence Project (OIP). Byers had been convicted of murder in 1984 and was serving a life sentence without parole.

Byers’ case is one of many in which the OIP has helped to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals.
