American 18 years unjustly in prison due to wrong photo: “I have waited a long time for this day”

A New York man jailed for a murder he didn’t commit has been released after more than 18 years. According to prosecutors, a photo of another person with the same name led to his wrongful arrest. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” Sheldon Thomas said before a packed courtroom yesterday.
