As part of our series Exoneree Diaries, James Kluppelberg details how he was falsely accused of starting a fire that killed a family, and what evidence later released him. He details life from leaving prison with $14 in his pocket to where he is today-suing the Chicago Police Department for what he claims was a coerced confession. We also talk to Exoneree Diaries author Alison Flowers about the cost to taxpayers when innocent people go to prison. Photo: Flickr/swanksalot
