  "account": "Jimmie \"Chris\" Duncan spent 27 years on death row as a wrongfully convicted man. Recently, Louisiana's Supreme Court threw out his murder conviction, ruling that bite mark evidence from the crime scene could not have been made by a human. Despite this victory, Duncan still faces uncertainty as the district attorney for Ouachita Parish, where the crime occurred, has threatened to retry him. Duncan, who now makes $17 an hour working at Walmart, is trapped in limbo, both financially and mentally, without guaranteed compensation for his wrongful conviction.",
