READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
After spending more than two decades wrongfully imprisoned, on Thursday two men from Brooklyn, New York found themselves free for the first time since June of 1992.
Nearly 22 years ago, Sharrif Wilson and Antonio Yarbough were charged, and subsequently convicted, in the triple homicide of Yarbough's mother, and two 12-year-old girls, one of whom was his sister.
New DNA evidence cleared the two men, who join Piers Morgan on Friday in the first interview since their release.
"I haven't slept yet. I've been up for over like two days now. I have no words right now, I'm just extremely happy," said Yarbough, who was 18 at the time of the murders and has been busy breathing New York's trademark outdoor air since his release, a simple pleasure he missed as much as anything else during his incarceration.
On June 18th, 1992, Yarbough and Wilson spent an evening out in the West Village, before later returning to their native Coney Island. The pair separated, and Yarbough headed home, where he was greeted by all three bodies, a scene that's since been described as a grisly.
The two men soon fell victim to what's subsequently been exposed as shoddy police work; an entirely too brief investigation, featuring coerced confessions, and misinterpreted evidence. Additionally, it's been determined that Yarbough and Wilson suffered from inadequate legal representation, all factors which contributed to the two men spending 21 long years behind bars.
"It was horrible. [I] tried to keep faith in God and believe that one day all of this would be over with," said Wilson, who during the initial trials was encouraged to lie in court, and turn on his friend, in exchange for a lighter sentence. "For many years I felt horrible that I had to do that and that I actually did it knowing that we wasn't guilty for a crime that we didn't commit. But I just felt horrible and I felt horrible then; I still feel horrible now that we had to go through this long process just to get justice."
With both men locked up, DNA tied a new murder – from 1999 – to evidence collected in the 1992 triple homicide, effectively clearing the two men.
Seated side by side, across from the host, Friday's interview on "Piers Morgan Live" represents the first time in 21 years that Wilson and Yarbough have seen one another without shackles. For Wilson, time in prison resulted in a longing for some of the simple pleasures that most New Yorker's take for granted. In his case, it was simply authentic pizza.

Hi my name is Daniella Carter. I'm a trans youth of color living here in NYC. I'm am an ambassador of the trans woman of color collective of the greater NYC area.
I have a commitment to activism in social and gender justice in New York City. I live my life as an unapologetic , resilient and altruistic young trans youth leader , who constantly taking the initiative to reach out and ask for guidance in furthering my leadership skills as an activist for LGBT youth. There is determination and vision in me. Thru these initiatives I have now formed relationships with great pioneers and public figures of the trans community . I don't want this platform for fame but only to bring awareness to the neglected often stigmatized youth in my community. I believe as a youth trans leader there is visibility with the older generation of trans woman. When will we have youth visibility presents and empowering there peers? I'm not looking for fame just looking for allies who's willing to hold my hand in coming closer to bringing unity to the trans youth. In my community who's often marginalized if not by age but by race. I ask that you please give me a chance to at least get guidance. If not the chance to be speak On the troubling issues . I humbly ask when The next trans conversation happening . I can show youth that we are leaders. We are more than oppression and stigma. To remember we are the future and we must come together not to be divided. I'm willing to share my experiences as a youth of trans experience living here in NYC. Please I hope you can help having a youth presents in media during the time of urgency for Islan Nettle case . It would be breaking barriers for trans youth to see a trans youth of color out there working hard in regard to bring visibility to our generation .My determination not to fall between the margins of our society is what has led me to fight injustice through my education, internships at LGBT organizations, and my role in the Trans Women of Color Collective (TWOCC). Thats what I would love to share with other trans youth. Gain their support in building trans youth social justice movements.
P.s
Please if you can help you can contact me with listed information below thank you. Im open to all allies Daniella Carter
