FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Although rare, there are innocent people who fall through the cracks of the justice system and are behind bars.

Forty-three years ago, Mike VonAllmen learned he was the prime suspect in a crime he didn’t commit.
“The police told me over the phone they had three felony warrants on me for rape, robbery, and sodomy. I said, ‘Well, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about,’” VonAllmen told FOX 56.
