The Ohio Innocence Project at the University of Cincinnati College of Law took Ricky's case several years ago, after the Cleveland Scene published an article calling into question the convictions. The big break came, however, when Ed Vernon, now in his 50s, was in the hospital and, when visited by his pastor, broke down and confessed that he had not seen anything. In fact, he had been on a school bus blocks away and had only heard the shots, but had made up the entire story under police pressure. He told his pastor that living with the lie had been a cloud over his life. His pastor then told him that he had to come forward and correct this injustice.

On Monday and Tuesday, in powerful courtroom testimony, Ed Vernon, choking back tears, explained that at first he believed, in his year old mind, that he was "doing the right thing" by making up the story to help police solve the crime. But his mother knew he was lying, and told him that when the police called him downtown to identify the suspects in a line-up, he should refuse to identify them, and "that would be the end of it.

Detectives took him into a room and screamed at him, threw objects around the room, and told the crying year old that his parents would be sent to prison for perjury if he didn't change his story. They got him to sign a statement implicating the suspects with details about the murder that they fed to him, and had him claim in the statement that he didn't identify the suspects in the line-up because he too scared.
Vernon explained to the judge this week, "I was a black kid, poor and uneducated, from the neighborhood. A white man had been killed. I didn't know anything about the justice system. Do you really think as a year old I could stand up to those detectives screaming in my face? Vernon sobbed on the stand when describing how this "lie from the pits of hell" had ruined his life, and how he had finally felt relief when he confessed to his pastor. Prior to testifying, Vernon passed a polygraph about his recantation, and other new witnesses, discovered by the Ohio Innocence Project, testified this week and corroborated Vernon's recantation.
Several witnesses said that Vernon was on the school bus with them blocks away when they heard the shots, and thus, Vernon could not have seen the murder. One new witness, for example, testified that not only was she with Vernon on the school bus--out of sight from the murder--when the shots rang out, but that moments after getting off the bus she saw Jackson and one of the Bridgeman brothers relaxing in front of Jackson's house several blocks from the murder scene. She told them about the shooting, and they walked up to the murder scene to see what was going on.

She explained that she knew back in that the defendants were innocent, but did not come forward earlier because she was only 13 years-old and her father would not let her get involved in such a violent case. Another witness--called by the State to presumably refute Jackson's innocence claim--surprised everyone in the courtroom by testifying that Vernon was sitting next to him on the school bus when they heard the shots, and that after he learned that Vernon was claiming he had witnessed the murder, he told him, "You must have X-ray eyes" because no one on the school bus could have seen what happened.
But the biggest surprise of all occurred right before closing arguments when the prosecutors announced that they were "conceding the obvious" and dropping all charges against Ricky Jackson. They also noted that they would soon be dropping charges against the Bridgeman brothers as well. Jackson, who steadfastly refused to entertain a deal on Monday at the start of the hearing to admit guilt in exchange for being released from his life sentence immediately, walked free this morning with all charges dropped and his name cleared once and for all.

There are many heroes in this case. Kyle Swenson, the reporter for the Cleveland Scene who got the ball rolling with his story casting doubt on the convictions. The students at the Ohio Innocence Project, who turned the case inside out for years sensing that an injustice had been done. Ed Vernon, for having the courage to step forward and correct a "lie from the pits of hell" that had been forced on him as a child by the police.
