Philadelphia musician Jimmy Dennis was wrongfully convicted for a crime he didn't commit after a 17-year-old was murdered for a pair of gold earrings in 1991. He spent 25 and a half years on death row and was given execution dates on two occasions during that time, but eventually his conviction was overturned. And now he's relaunching his music career. This is his story.
