        INJUSTICE: Ricky Jackson was wrongfully imprisoned for 39 years [AP/GETTY]

Ricky Jackson, 57, will be a free man on Friday after 39 years wrongfully imprisoned for murder.
Eddie Vernon, who was 12 in 1975, lied to authorities and said Jackson and two other men killed a money-order collector at a Cleveland grocery store.
Mr Jackson broke into loud sobs as all charges were dropped.
"The state concedes the obvious," Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said.
"I can't believe this is over," Mr Jackson said.
