  • SACRAMENTO, CA – MARCH 6: Jeremy Puckett, 44, leaves Wells Fargo following a banking transaction on Saturday, March 6, 2021, in Sacramento, Calif. Puckett spent nearly two decades behind bars for a murder he didn’t commit. The exonerated Sacramento man was released on March 13, 2020, just six days before Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all Californians to shelter in place. Puckett’s first full year of reclaimed freedom has coincided with the first full year of the global coronavirus pandemic and its unprecedented restrictions on life and liberty. Puckett didn’t leave prison with much in the way of personal belongings and he still doesn’t have much. But he has a home, a job, and a new grandchild. (Yalonda M.
