By WDAF-TV, Kansas City 8 hrs ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A lot has changed since Ricky Kidd was locked up and then released into what seems like a whole new world.
t's been three and a half weeks since he walked out of the Western Missouri Correctional Center. Now, he's free for the first time in 23 years after having been wrongfully convicted for a double murder in 1996.
. . .
"Missing out on a city being reborn, but the good news is I am here and I am going to engage the next 23 years fully and joyfully," Kidd said.
. . .
"I get to create new memories," Kidd said. A lot of people see me upbeat, joyful -- and I am. That is a genuine reflection, but sometimes it is sad.
