The Lingering Shadow of Wrongful Conviction Jimmie "Chris" Duncan's story is a stark reminder that even after exoneration, life outside prison walls can be just as grueling as it was inside.

Duncan still struggles to shake off the feeling of being trapped in limbo, unsure when – or if – he'll truly be free from the specter of prosecution.
