Support Herman Williams After 29 Years of Wrongful Incarceration
In 1993, Herman Williams’s ex-wife, Penny, went missing in Gurnee, Illinois. From the beginning of the investigation, the police focused on Herman and ignored other leads in the case. He always maintained his innocence, but he was wrongly convicted and spent 29 years in prison until finally being exonerated earlier this year. Now Herman is trying to rebuild his life after spending decades behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. Will you help him by donating to his personal fundraiser?
