A North Carolina man who spent 44 years in prison for a rape he says he didn't commit was freed on Thursday.

Ronnie Long's attorney broke the news of his impending release via Twitter on Wednesday, the Charlotte Observer reported.

‘The state said it will ask the district court to enter a writ vacating Ronnie's conviction. In short, Ronnie Long is coming home!' lawyer Jamie Lau wrote.
