In this Dec. 28, 2016 photo, Robert Boyd stands outside his house in Baltimore. At 16, he was sentenced to life for his role in a home invasion that turned deadly. Boyd was the lookout, standing watch on the porch. The man who fired the fatal shot was acquitted at trial. In prison, Boyd earned degrees, stayed out of trouble, coached boxing. For years he unsuccessfully applied for parole. But in April 2016, after 34 years behind bars, he was released on probation after Johnston convinced a judge to reopen the case, arguing that Maryland's system didn't afford Boyd a meaningful chance at parole and was therefore unconstitutional.
