Twenty-seven years after being convicted of a murder he said he didn't commit, a Detroit man walked out of a Michigan prison on Tuesday as a free man, following
a Wayne County judge's decision to vacate his conviction and dismiss the charges against him.
George Calicut Jr., 56, was convicted of the murder of Virgie Perkins in October of 1999 and sentenced to life in prison based on what prosecutors, the Michigan
Innocence Clinic and Circuit Judge Bradley Cobb deemed to be a false confession elicited by Detroit Police Detective Barbara Simon. DNA evidence also excluded
Calicut as the murderer.
