Condemned to Die: The Story of Greg Wilhoit

Greg Wilhoit spent five years of his life on death row for a crime that he did not commit. He received a full exoneration in 1993, but life is still a struggle
for Greg. He lost 8 years of his life, the opportunity to raise his two daughters, his livelihood, & his physical and mental health. He now lives off social security checks because he continues to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He has never received an apology or one penny in compensation.
