Richard Phillips is seen outside a Wayne County jail, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017 in Detroit after being released after 45 years in prison. Phillips was released while prosecutors appeal a decision that granted him a new trial in a 1971 murder. Phillips has long declared his innocence in the fatal shooting of Gregory Harris. He was convicted largely on the testimony of a trial witness who's now dead. Phillips' big break occurred in 2014 when the Innocence Clinic at University of Michigan law school learned that another man said Phillips had absolutely no role. (AP Photo/Ed White)
