Kerry Porter, imprisoned for murder, is exonerated, freed after 14 years - Louisville Courier Journal

After serving 14 years behind bars for a
murder he insisted he didn’t commit, a
stunned Kerry Porter learned Monday that
he was exonerated and hours later was
released from prison.

“He was virtually speechless,” said Melanie
Lowe, who won Porter’s exoneration after a
five-year battle.

“He said it was a lot to take in … and that
he was a little nervous” about returning to
the real world, she said. “He’s never held a
cell phone or seen a flat-screen TV.”

Jefferson Circuit Judge Irv Maze signed an
order dismissing Porter’s conviction and
ordering him released “immediately and
without delay” in the 1996 murder of
Tyrone Camp.
