Chicago man Hilton Keller released from prison 33 years after wrongful murder conviction in death of Ollie Jones

CHICAGO (WLS) — A Chicago man was released from prison more than 30 years after he was wrongfully convicted of murder.

Hilton Keller had been in prison for the armed robbery and murder of music and game store owner Ollie Jones on May 19, 1991.

Keller’s attorney said there is overwhelming evidence that another man, who has since died, committed the murder, and that prosecutors ignored exculpatory evidence and also violated their duty to turn exculpatory evidence over to Keller’s defense.

Keller was released from prison Monday night.
