David Robinson sued the city of Sikeston, Missouri after he was freed from prison in May 2018 after the state Supreme Court overturned his conviction for the murder of Sheila Box.

He and his wife are working on creating a foundation to help people"get their lives back" after being released from prison.

A judge appointed by the Supreme Court to review the case ruled there was"clear and convincing evidence" that he didn't kill bar owner Sheila Box in 2000.
