Former death row inmate Walter Ogrod suing Philadelphia after murder conviction overturned

A man who served nearly three decades on death row is suing the City of Philadelphia.

Walter Ogrod was convicted in the July 1988 murder of 4-year-old Barbara Jean Horn. About a year ago, a common pleas judge overturned his conviction because new DNA evidence did not link him to the victim.

Ogrod has always maintained his innocence.

The search continues for Horn's killer.
