A former leader of the Black Panthers has been released from prison more than four decades after being convicted of killing a Baltimore police officer.
Sixty-seven-year-old Marshall "Eddie" Conway was freed from the prison in Jessup on Tuesday. It came after state prosecutors agreed to change his life sentence to time served and probation.
“Today is a monumental day for the thousands of Marylanders and the millions around the world that have championed the release of Marshall “Eddie” Conway for a very long time,” Baltimore City NAACP President Tessa Hill-Aston. “The release of Conway after four decades of imprisonment is an important page turner in this tragic story. The Baltimore NAACP has been supporting Conway’s release for decades and now a new chapter begins for Marshall “Eddie”Conway, his family and supporters. Our prayers remain with him as he makes the transition to freedom.”
