Ethan Shanfeld After serving nearly 24 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, “Sing Sing” actor Jon-Adrian “JJ” Velazquez has been exonerated of his wrongful murder conviction.

Velazquez held back tears, pounded his chest and pumped his fist as he hugged friends and family after he was officially cleared by the judge in a downtown Manhattan courthouse Monday morning.

Velazquez co-stars with Colman Domingo in the A24 prison drama that follows a group of incarcerated men who find purpose in acting in theater productions.

Featuring an ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors, “Sing Sing” takes place at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility, which is where Velazquez was falsely imprisoned.
