The Face of Injustice: How a Doppelgänger Cost an Innocent Man 17 Years of His Life

Inmates would walk up to Jones, chat with him familiarly, and then express deep offense when he blankly stared back, having no recollection of meeting them. Others accused him of ignoring them in the chow hall. Soon, prisoners began whispering about another inmate in the system who looked remarkably like him—sharing the same facial structure, build, complexion, hairstyle, and facial hair. That man’s name was Ricky Amos. Intrigued and recognizing this as a potential lifeline, Jones contacted legal advocates from the Midwest Innocence Project and the Project for Innocence at the University of Kansas School of Law. Legal teams set out to investigate Amos and discovered an astonishing coincidence: Amos not only lived near the original crime scene at the time of the 1999 robbery, but his background and associations closely intersected with the details known about the getaway driver's statements.
