KEILAR: And now for a redemption story nearly 27 years in the making. John Bunn was 14 when he was wrongly convicted for the 1991 murder of an off-duty corrections officer in Brooklyn. He always maintained his innocence but served 17 years in prison before being paroled in 2009. Lawyers from the Exoneration Initiative worked with him for years to clear his name and yesterday their hard work paid off. In an emotional tear-filled hearing, for the now 41-year-old, the indictment against him was officially cleared.</s>JOHN BUNN, EXONERATED OF MURDER CHARGES: I was convicted and had the wrong man in prison. and I still have somebody on the loose right now that killed someone in out there running free. And I didn't deserve any of that stuff that you did to me. I'm an innocent man. I'm an innocent man, your honor and I've always been an innocent man, your honor.</s>KEILAR: He was behind bars and stopped the attempted rape of a prison counselor and since started a literacy program for inmates. Thank you so much for joining me.
