N.Y. man who spent 19 years in prison after buying mom a stove with stolen money order is freed
A New York man was freed from prison Monday after having spent nearly two decades behind bars for a robbery he didn't commit.
Kenneth Windley was linked to the 2005 crime after he bought his mother a stove with a money order that he didn't know was stolen. Windley, 61, was convicted of second-degree robbery and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. A Brooklyn judge tossed his conviction after prosecutors re-examined his claims of innocence and concluded that he wasn’t involved in the crime.
