In 1991, Ronald Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a murder in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was exonerated in 2024 based on the failure of police to disclose a tip about an alternate suspect and evidence that two prosecution witnesses initially said Johnson was not involved in the crime.
