Oliver Campbell , now in his 50s , was convicted of the robbery and murder of Baldev Hoondle .

Campbell suffered cognitive impairment as a baby and struggles with his concentration and memory.

He was 21 when he was jailed in 1991 after being convicted based partly on admissions his lawyer said were coerced.

Defense lawyer Michael Birnbaum said police lied to Campbell and "badgered and bullied" him into giving a false confession.
