New trial for man convicted after woman had 'rape dream'

An appalling story here. Excerpt:

'A man imprisoned for 28 years after a woman said she dreamed that he raped her could be freed after a Denver judge overturned his conviction.

Denver District Judge Kandace Gerdes ordered a new trial for Clarence Moses-El, saying he would likely be acquitted after another man confessed to the crime.

Moses-El was convicted in 1988 of raping and assaulting a woman when she returned home from a night of drinking. He was sentenced to 48 years in prison.

His efforts to appeal were unsuccessful, in part because Denver police destroyed DNA evidence from the attack, despite a judge's order to preserve it.'
