Hubert Nathan Myers and Clifford Williams are two African American men exonerated for First-Degree Murder and attempted murder after 42 years due to eyewitness misidentification, ineffective assistance of counsel and official misconduct.[1][2][3] They are the first exonerees freed based on an investigation by a Conviction Integrity Unit in Florida.[4][5][6][7]
They were convicted only on the testimony of one of the victims Nina Marshall, who was shot alongside Jeanette Williams who was killed.[8][9][10]
