Darryl Hunt was a victim of racism. Based on an ID made by a former Ku Klux Klan member, Thomas Murphy, the 19-year-old Hunt was charged with the rape and murder of a local reporter, Deborah Sykes. No physical evidence linked Hunt to the crime, but he was convicted by an all white jury, and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1994, DNA testing cleared Hunt. Mark Rabil, Hunt's defense lawyer, and Larry Little, currently a professor at Winston-Salem State University, with the support from the community of Winston-Salem and the surrounding area, fought for Hunt, who was finally exonerated in 2004. He offered Deborah Sykes' mother his condolences for her loss, and forgave everyone for the years he spent in prison.
