Two men who spent decades in prison in the United States for the 1965 murder of Black civil rights leader Malcolm X have been exonerated, acknowledging a gross miscarriage of justice in one of the most high-profile murders in American history.In her ruling on Thursday, New York State Supreme Court Justice Ellen Biben acknowledged that Muhammad Aziz, 83, and Khalil Islam, who died in 2009, were wrongfully convicted.Biben dismissed their convictions after New York prosecutors and the men’s lawyers said a renewed investigation uncovered evidence that the two men were not involved in the killing.
