A Philadelphia man who received a $4.1 million settlement from city officials after he served 24 years behind bars for a murder he did not commit is headed back to jail. Shaurn Thomas, now 50, pleaded guilty in court on Thursday to killing 38-year-old Akeem Edwards on January 3, 2023 over a $1,200 dr*g debt, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He had previously been convicted of second-degree murder for the November 1990 shooting death of a Puerto Rican businessman, and was sentenced to life in prison. But Thomas had long maintained his innocence - saying at the time of 78-year-old Domingo Martinez's death he was incarcerated at a juvenile jail, according to the Innocence Project, which helped get him released in 2017.
