Calvin Duncan was 19 years old and had moved from New Orleans to Mt. Hood, Oregon in 1982 to become a welder and pursue his G.E.D. He also planned on enlisting in the military, but his life would be put on hold for 28 and a half years for a crime he didn’t commit.
Duncan was arrested in 1982 for murder during the commission of an armed robbery. The murder had taken place thousands of miles away in his hometown of New Orleans.
