A man's new beginning after 31 years in prison

For more than a decade, he lived in the shadow of death after being sentenced to the gallows for robbery with violence in August 1991.

The death sentence was later commuted to life in jail, saving Samuel Kahiga from the hangman’s noose. His life has been an emotional roller-coaster.
