The innocent man said the conviction was heartbreaking and that he spent every day in state jail “struggling.” Daniel Saldana was released 33 years after he was wrongfully imprisoned on six attempted murder charges. Saldana - who was 22 years old and employed as a construction worker - was slapped with six counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting at an occupied vehicle and sentenced to 45 years to life in state prison.

Saldana was locked up in 1990, just months after he was pinned as one of the two gunmen who opened fire on students who were driving in Baldwin Park after a high school football game. “I’m just grateful to be alive every day,” Saldana said at a press conference.
