Juvenile offender, 83, let out of prison after 68 years is 'amazed' by new world

mirror.co.uk:

The oldest juvenile lifer who walked free from prison at 83 has reportedly said he was "amazed" by skyscrapers and mourns his family members who have since died.

Joseph Ligon was only 15 when he was jailed for life for murder after a spree of robberies and attacks with a group of drunken teenagers in Philadelphia, US.

During that spate of violence two people were left dead - Charles Pitts, 60, and Jackson Hamm, 65, and six others were injured from stab wounds.

Jailed in 1953, Ligon refused to apply for parole as he denies ever killing anyone. After an astonishing 68 years behind bars, making him the oldest juvenile lifer in the country, he finally walked free from the State Correctional Institution Phoenix last week.
