“I could eat Grubhub. I could watch Netflix. I get to sleep on a nice comfy bed,” Kevin Harrington said while quarantining in a hotel room after a 17-year battle to overturn his murder conviction came to an end last week. “It’s been beautiful.”
“I didn’t have time to be angry, bitter,” he said. “I had to fight. I had to read.”
The unit concluded that Harrington and Clark did not receive fair trials as a result of the detective’s conduct. But the prosecutor’s office “has not reached any conclusion regarding actual innocence of Mr. Harrington and Mr. Clark,” it said in the statement. Inkster police Chief William Riley said the detectives involved in the case are no longer on the force and he would welcome an outside investigation.
Clark was released from the Lakeland Correctional Facility on April 9. His mother never got a chance to see him walk free."Basically when she found out what they did to me, she gave up," he said."This is something I have to live with. But even though she's not here in the physical form, I'm sure she's looking down and seeing that justice finally prevailed."
“It was serious, serious, serious,” Harrington said of the conditions behind bars. “Think about a closed-in environment with a rampant virus ravaging through.” Harrington’s first meal after leaving prison was a cheeseburger with french fries and a slice of cheesecake. His hotel stay is being paid for by the Michigan Innocence Clinic. The program was unable to also cover the cost of his meals, but a call for donations from students was answered so quickly that enough money was raised in two hours, said law student Danielle Bernstein.
