CT's longest-serving prisoner passes at 101

Frank Smith was scheduled for execution after being convicted of murder, but he ultimately became the longest-serving prisoner in U.S. history, dying at nearly 102 years old in a Connecticut nursing home. His initial conviction stemmed from a 1949 murder he insisted he did not commit, but years of wrongful imprisonment followed due to questionable testimonies and a jailhouse confession. Despite finally being paroled in 2020, Smith maintained his innocence until his death, relying on memories of his long incarceration and recurring reflections on the electric chair.
