Phillip A. Stroud has been unjustly imprisoned for nearly 24 years for a crime he did not commit. In 2002, he was wrongfully convicted of capital murder, a charge he has consistently denied. Although his death sentence was overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court after three years, he was coerced into accepting a plea bargain due to fear for his life, resulting in a life sentence without parole.
Throughout his incarceration, Phillip has shown an unwavering commitment to humanitarian efforts. He has served as a teacher, mentor for mentally ill inmates, and advocate for at-risk youth, demonstrating his dedication to positive change within the prison system and beyond.
Phillip’s case is riddled with severe injustices, including police misconduct, false witness testimony (that was later recanted), and DNA evidence that conclusively proves his innocence. It is crucial that his case be urgently reexamined to address the blatant miscarriage of justice.
