US man freed from prison after wrongful conviction meets pen pal, 25 years on

Lamar Johnson, 49, finally gets chance to meet Ginny Schrappen, 80, after she wrote to him in prison for nearly three decades

For nearly three decades, Ginny Schrappen exchanged letters with a man imprisoned for a murder which he has always said he didn't commit and whom she believed.

Her faith in Lamar Johnson was rewarded when a judge in Missouri overturned his conviction earlier this year after evidence surfaced that the killer in fact was someone else - and now the pen pals have met for the first time.
