    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 52-year-old man who had more than half his life taken away by a wrongful conviction for rape showed no hostility Wednesday as he took his first steps as a free man in 29 years.

    Raymond Towler was all smiles as he walked out of the Justice Center in his native Cleveland like a rock star with an entourage.

    He will never be known again as Inmate No. A16468. He is a free man, at last. Towler smiled, hugged relatives and friends and shook hands with everyone who extended an arm. Bystanders stared as he walked through the courthouse with television cameras recording his every step.


    What would you do after 29 years?

    I think I would be all about revenge.

    There are probably too many more like him, as we find out all too often.

    Somehow after being locked up for 29 years, I'd want something other than pizza if you know what I mean...

    You should check out a movie called Oldboy. Its pretty crazy, but that's probably what a lot of dudes would want to do.

    I think I'd take a page out of Garret Morris' book in his position...

    Money is obviously an issue here...

    But, if and when I was compensated for my time in prison, I would take the money, find a nice place somewhere "else" - Carribean, Central America, some little Western US town - and live my life as peacefully as possible.

    That's just me, though.
