Otis Johnson - Innocent in prison for 40 years

www.gofundme.com/otis-johnsons-home-fund Otis Johnson spent nearly 40 years in prison for a crime he has never admitted to. An attempted murder on a police officer on May 5th 1975. There was a severe lack of evidence and his court appointed failed to interview possible key witnesses in the case. A gun was used against him that did not have any fingerprints on it, 7 out of 9 pictures in a photo line-up did not include a person in a tan jacket, like Otis wore the day he was arrested. His lawyer was also not present during the line-up. His lawyer never interviewed or sought after a person that lived in apartment 1D at 1975 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. That person called 911 at 11:58am on May 5th describing a man in a beige coat in the hallway of the building, selling drugs and possibly armed. When asked for further information he/she couldn't say. Otis was arrested a few blocks away, and about 30 minutes after an officer had been shot that responded to the 911 call. He was standing on the corner of Mt. Morris Park West and 121st street, just standing there and talking to people. Since Otis was released he has worked with and received help from numerous organizations in Harlem, NY that aim to fight Mass Incarceration. He constantly puts the needs of others ahead of his own, and when asked why he does that, he simply says: "It was the way I was raised, to think of my family, friends and my community."
