Stand With Baby Sam
After spending 33 years incarcerated for a wrongful conviction, Samuel “Baby Sam” Edmonson had his freedom restored by a judge — only for New York to take it back without a new trial.
What Happened
Samuel “Baby Sam” Edmonson was convicted in Brooklyn in 1990 and spent more than three decades behind bars for a crime he has consistently maintained he did not commit.
In 2022, a judge vacated his conviction. After 33 years incarcerated, Baby Sam was released and returned home to rebuild his life.
For three years, he lived as a free man.
In 2025, without a new trial and without new evidence presented in open court, New York reinstated the conviction and took his freedom back.
