A Detroit hitman convicted of eight murders has said he is willing to take responsibility for four more to help clear the name of a young man whom he claims was wrongly convicted.
Serial killer Vincent Smothers, who is serving a sentence of at least 52 years, says Davontae Sanford confessed to the killings at the age of 14 in order to satisfy the police.
Sanford's guilty plea earned him a prison sentence of almost 40 years, which he is fighting to overturn.
Smothers confessed to the murders, dubbed the Runyon Street slayings, when he was captured in 2008 - but prosecutors have never charged him, and never explained why.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
