Richard Miles

Richard spent 15 years in Texas prisons as a result of being wrongfully convicted of murder and aggravated assault. While in prison he pursued his education, receiving his Associate Degree in Science. With the help of Centurion his innocence was recognized, and Richard was released from prison on October 10, 2009. On February 15, 2012 the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed his conviction and declared him to be “truly” innocent. His case is the first non-DNA, non-recantation exoneration, Miles vs. State of Texas. Shortly after his exoneration he founded Miles of Freedom, an organization providing re-entry and support services to recently released men and women in the Dallas area.
