A Jersey City man who spent two decades behind bars was released Friday after his conviction was overturned.
Dion Miller was accused of robbing a man and then striking him in the head multiple times back in 2003.
The victim later died in the hospital.
Miller was sent to serve 30 years in prison, but the Attorney General's conviction review unit found that police elicited three false confessions from him
