Jimmie Gardner served 27 years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. At a high moment in his baseball career, Jimmie was playing for the Chicago Cubs when he was accused of rape, with evidence of his DNA used to seal his fate. Originally sentenced to 110 years in prison, he worked feverishly and went through thirteen different attorneys to prove his innocence until finally he was exonerated just three years ago. To this day, Jimmie is still fighting for compensation from the state of West Virginia. He currently manages Gardner House Inc. which helps ex-cons assimilate into society.
