A Washington, DC, inmate whose case has been championed by Kim Kardashian was freed from prison Monday after nearly 23 years behind bars for murder.
Momolu Stewart, 39, was convicted in 1999 after being tried as an adult at age 16 — but had his life sentence suspended Friday and walked out of the DC Central Detention Facility a free man three days later.
Stewart’s release came two months after Kardashian, 38, wrote a letter in his support to DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno.
Kardashian and Stewart met at the prison while she was shooting for her upcoming documentary “Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project,” about a month before she submitted her letter.
