Man Wrongly Jailed For 27 Years Is Released And Hit By Taxi 4

Sean Hodgson was convicted of murder in 1982. A recent DNA test proved he was innocent so he was released after spending 27 years in jail. His joy was short-lived however as he was struck by a taxi and needed to go to the hospital to get stitches in his face. His solicitor, Julian Young, said the accident was just one example of how hard it was for Mr Hodgson to adjust to life on the outside after 27 years of prison. "He's OK but I think he's struggling with life on the outside, and particularly in London. He's been in to see us and his spirits are up," he said. They must hail cabs with their faces in British prisons.
