For 45 years, Richard Phillips sat in a prison cell, convicted of a heinous murder he didn’t commit. But despite his surroundings, the innocent Michigan man did not languish behind bars. Instead, he created.
The 73-year-old was freed in 2017, thanks to the investigative efforts of several University of Michigan law students working in conjunction with the Wayne County prosecutor’s office.
