"I am so full of gratitude for the support I received from friends, family and the lawyers who stuck with me through this long and difficult process," Dennis said.

After more than 25 years in prison for a crime I did not commit, you can imagine that I have a lot of emotions and I really appreciate everyone respecting me, my family, and our privacy at this time. I continue to pray for the truth."

According to a new report from Amnesty International, Death Sentences and Executions in 2015,there were 51 exonerations of prisoners worldwide under sentence of death in six countries: China (1), Egypt (1), Nigeria (41), Pakistan (at least 21), Taiwan (1), and the USA (6).

In total, 156 prisoners have been exonerated in the USA. In 2015, the exonerated prisoners were:

. Anthony Hinton (Alabama) -  Evidence previously
used against him showed that his weapon was not linked to the bullets used in a murder. He had spent nearly 30 years on death row.

. Willie Manning (Mississippi), after the court ruled that the prosecution did not disclose key evidence that could have invalidated a witness’ testimony and proved his innocence. (Read more about Willie Manning's case here).

dismissed charges against Lawrence Lee, on the basis that there was not enough evidence to prosecute him.
