71% Informative
Bobby Gumpright fabricated a story that he had been robbed at gunpoint by a Black man.
Jermaine Hudson , a 20-year-old Black man, was charged with a crime he didn't commit.
Hudson was found guilty by a split jury, a practice that 20 years later would be deemed unconstitutional.
Nearly 1,000 people convicted by split juries remain in prison in Louisiana .
Of those convicted, about 80% were Black and most were serving life sentences.
Bill would give inmates convicted by split juries the opportunity to ask for a retrial.
Measure failed last year , but a legislative committee backed a similar bill in April .
The bill still needs approval from the governor, House and Senate , which could debate it this week .
The duo say their story is an example of how an innocent man can be imprisoned for decades .
