The first thing Kevin Strickland did after being exonerated for a triple murder he didn't commit was visit his mother's grave.
"To know my mother was underneath that dirt and I hadn't gotten a chance to visit with her in the last years ... I revisited those tears that I did when they told me I was guilty of a crime I didn't commit," Strickland told CNN's Brianna Keilar Wednesday.At the age of 19, Strickland, who is now 62, was convicted in 1979 of one count of capital murder and two counts of second-degree murder in a triple homicide in Kansas City, Missouri.

The only survivor of the crime, Cynthia Douglas, who died in 2015, testified in 1978 that Strickland was at the scene of the triple murder.Douglas sustained a shotgun injury and told police then that Vincent Bell and Kiln Adkins were two of the perpetrators.
