It was a record payout: The state of North Carolina, the city of Concord and the State Bureau of Investigation paid Ronnie Long $25 million after he spent 44 years in prison for a crime he never did.
Long was 21 years old in 1976 when he was sentenced to life in prison for the rape of then-54-year-old Sarah Bost that he didn’t commit. He spent 44 years behind bars until the courts finally overturned his conviction in 2020, citing the “troubling and striking pattern of deliberate police suppression of material evidence.”
In an exclusive interview with WCNC Charlotte, Long said there's still no justice because his case is about the people who knowingly helped convict him and those who withheld evidence that could have freed him sooner, including the former Cabarrus County district attorney who recently stepped down.
"How does it feel to win the biggest settlement in North Carolina history? I don't feel as though I've been truly compensated for the things that I lost," Long explained.
