It took over 10 years of work by the Midwest Innocence Project, who used 50 + UMKC law students to finally put together the evidence to Free him. Ricky of course played a big role in his own exoneration by
working in the law library to learn what he needed to do to aid in his defense. Ricky also used his time behind bars to develop his artistic talents, learn about business, write poetry and plays, but most importantly he mentored and helped other prisoners learn h=what they need to do in their own defense.
