Juan Roberto Melendez-Colon
Juan Roberto Melendez-Colon (born May 24, 1951) is a public speaker and human rights activist who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent over 17 years on Death Row. He was released from prison on January 3, 2002, making him the 99th Death Row inmate in the United States to be exonerated and released from prison since 1973.〔Chachere, Vickie: "Florida Death Row Inmate To Be Released After 17 Years", ''Associated Press'', Jan 3, 2002〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Death Row Inmate Acquitted in One Court, Now Convicted in Another )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Revision to the List of Exonerated Individuals )〕
==Early life==
Melendez was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1951, then fled to Puerto Rico when he was 8 years old to escape an abusive stepfather. At the age of 17 he returned to the United States mainland and eventually raised a family with his common-law wife.〔Sherman, Leonie: “Man who was wrongfully convicted of murder draws attention to death penalty”, ‘’Oakland Tribune’’, Apr 11, 2005〕
In 1974 Melendez was arrested in Florida for an armed robbery and spent over 6 years in prison. He then returned to life as a migrant farmer until FBI agents arrested him in Pennsylvania at the age of 33. He was charged for the 1983 Florida murder of Delbert 'Mr. Del' Baker in his Auburndale beauty salon, a man Melendez claims to have never met.〔〔Clark, Lesley: "Freed Florida Death Row Inmate 'Very, Very Happy', Doesn't Hold Grudge", ‘’Miami Herald’’, Jan 5, 2002〕
