Time to Free Ray Gray

The Issue

Raymond Gray, [prison ID# 135481] 1973 has been in prison for over 45 years. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1973 when 1/3 eyewitnesses identified him as the gunman in the death of drug dealer Reuben Bryant. Four other witnesses testified that Ray was home styling a client's hair. There was no physical evidence in this case. Literally none. Ray's case was a bench trial with no jury. 

Its time to exonerate Ray Gray. Or commute Ray Gray's sentence. Or pardon him. Or simply give Ray a new trial. But most of all, please free this man. He is a gentle, kind human being and has suffered enough.
