Longest-serving US prisoner dies after 8 escapes
Francis Smith, the longest-serving prisoner in the United States and someone who survived eight death sentences, has died at the age of 101 in a senior living home in Rocky Hill. He was convicted of killing a security guard at a yacht club in 1950 in Connecticut and was sentenced to death at age 25. However, his case was questioned due to changing witness testimonies and the behavior of one of the involved parties, leading to a reduction of his sentence to life imprisonment in 1954. For 70 years, Smith maintained his innocence, passing away alive after spending his life insisting on his innocence.
