A 76-year-old man who spent nearly every day of the last four decades in prison walked free after a judge found that deputies extracted his confession to a 1962 robbery by crushing his fingers between cell bars.
After walking out of the Angelina County jail Tuesday with his wife, Robert Carroll Coney said he was not bitter.
He went in at 36 years of age and comes out at 76. . . . . . and he's not bitter?
I would feel sorry for him, but I don't know if his confession is true or not. If he is in fact guilty, but was wrongfully jailed because of the interrogation method, then I don't feel sorry for him.
