Justice After 21 Years!

Submitted by Luek on Mon, 2006-10-09 12:27

Yet another falsely imprisoned man is released from prison after being unlawfully held for 21 years.

This case is different from the others we have been hearing about because blood tests at the time before DNA testing came on the scene failed to link him to the crime. He was convicted basically on the woman's testimony alone. Her husband who was tied up by the real rapist and got a good look at him was not able to identify him as the attacker.

I don't see how justice is served, he lost 21 years of his life, the real rapist got off Scott free, and there seems to be no compensation. I think What the IP is doing and the fact he was freed is great. It just makes me shake my head and wonder how many innocent men are in jail right now.
