Robert Johnson was 16 years old in 1996, when police took him from his grandmother’s brick two-flat on the South Side of Chicago without her permission. Although Johnson never confessed to any crime, police coerced two teenage boys — co-defendants — into implicating him. Despite no physical evidence or eyewitness testimony, Johnson was convicted of murder, home invasion and armed robbery and sentenced to 80 years in prison.
