A US prisoner who spent 17 years in jail for a robbery he did not commit has spoken of his relief that researchers found his lookalike.
Richard Anthony Jones from Kansas was released from jail after witnesses said they could not tell the two men apart.
A judge ruled there was no evidence to keep him in jail.
Jones said finding a photo of the other man ‑ who as well as looking like him, shares the same first name ‑ was a "needle in a haystack moment".
So far no criminal case has been filed against his double ‑ known only as Ricky ‑ who gave evidence at Jones's robbery retrial and denied committing the crime.
