Timothy Atkins

Tim Atkins was convicted of one count of murder and two counts of robbery based on false statements of a witness who claimed Tim confessed the crime to her and a bad identification procedure.   Twenty-three years later, the alleged witness to the confession recanted her testimony in front of the original trial judge, and the identification made by a victim was shown to be false. Tim was 17 when he went to prison and 40 when he was released.  For more information about Tim’s case go to: https://californiainnocenceproject.org/read-their-stories/timothy-atkins/
