Mr. Hinton, who works now as a passionate advocate against the death penalty has said that one of the most painful aspects of his ordeal is that the State of Alabama has never offered an apology for the 30 years of his life that he spent on death row and for the extraordinary injustice he suffered.
Despite the state's failure to hold itself accountable for Mr. Hinton's wrongful conviction, Mr. Hinton has publicly forgiven everyone who was involved. He has written, "I chose to forgive...l forgive because not to forgive would only hurt me." Why do you think an apology is important to Mr. Hinton?
