Did Bill Kurtis die? Haven't seen him lately.I hope not .He is a great narrator! It took so much courage for this man to come forward and tell the truth so the wrong man could be freed.I'm sure there are many others out there, wondering if they should do the right thing and free someone wrongly accused, but I think its rare for them to come forward like this man did.May he find some kind of peace in his soul.
