Case Summary

---

In 1982, Ralph Trent Stokes was arrested for a brutal triple murder that occurred at Smokin' Joe's Corner restaurant in Philadelphia.  In 1983, he was convicted and sentenced to death row.  Fast forward to 2004 and in an investigative file, that was previously undisclosed, it was discovered that notorious prosecutor Roger E. King had lied to the jury about forensically tested evidence.  Witnesses that testified against Ralph were coerced and incentivized, his alibi witnesses were disregarded and an innocent man has sat on death row for 40 years.  We are committed to right this terrible injustice and see Ralph Trent Stokes walk free.
