As many of you may know, I'm retiring from 10TV News this month. My last day on the air will be Tuesday at 6. I've enjoyed a great 45-year career with the Dispatch Broadcast Group. I've been blessed to travel the world pursuing stories.
I'll be sharing some of my favorites with you.
The Walter Smith story marked one of the rare moments in journalism for me.
One that led to an unexpected but hoped-for ending.
This story took me on a journey I had no experience with. Wading into the complicated landscape of the court system to help a wrongfully convicted man prove his innocence.
This month, Walter Smith marks 23 years of freedom.
Since his release from prison, the former body builder's become a successful entrepreneur and motivational speaker.
He owns these two semi's and is working on purchasing two more. none of this would have been possible without a startling turnaround in a criminal conviction.
