A Jacksonville man is looking forward to time with family after spending 45 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Wednesday, Willie Williams, had his wrongful conviction overturned. In 1976, Williams was convicted for robbery and attempted murder and was falsely identified by one of the victims. The method used was proven to be unreliable. "I kept count of all the parole hearings I had, I was rejected from parole for years and years and years and years since 1983," Williams said. While he was in prison, Williams missed time with family. “My mother passed, my father passed, my aunt's passed, my uncle passed,” Williams said. Williams knows it by heart: 45 years, 10 months and 19 days. That's how much time he spent in prison. It should have been zero. “They didn’t have anyone else to blame for the crime but me," Williams said.
