(CNN) A Philadelphia man wrongfully convicted of murder is finally free after spending more than three decades behind bars. Il Man "Tony" Heo, a Philadelphia grocery and deli store owner, was killed by a masked shooter in 1984. A second witness, Rodney Everett, told police officers that Crosland confessed to him that he carried out Heo's killing. Everett told Flores when she interviewed him about Crosland's case that he felt coerced by police to give testimony, she said. "We faced a lot of childhood trauma not having a father ... and grew up in poverty," Risheen Crosland told CNN.
