Man To Be Freed From Prison After Spending 36 Years For Stealing $50

A man from Alabama who was sentenced to life without parole after robbing a bakery of $50.75 in his 20s is to be released after more than three decades in prison.

Alvin Kennard, who was convicted of first-degree robbery, was 22 when he was first imprisoned in 1983.

Now, 36 years on, the 58-year-old is finally to be freed after a judge ordered his release from Donaldson correctional facility in Bessemer.
