Joseph H. Burrows (October 5, 1953 – October 15, 2009) was wrongly convicted of the murder of farmer William E. Dulin, 88, at his home in Iroquois County, Illinois. He was held for nearly five years on death row before being released after his attorney Kathleen Zellner persuaded the real killer to confess at the post-conviction hearing, and Peter Rooney, a reporter for the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, obtained a recantation from a key witness.
