Another misleading headline. It wasn't the "prosecutors" but the prosecutor's office that wanted the conviction overturned.
We have seen, since 2001 how the prosecutor's office in many localities, has been overtaken by liberal factions that almost literally decriminalize crime.
Now they are saying he is “not guilty” but only want his sentence reduced to life in prison.
What’s wrong with that picture?
I have not read all the court papers and I’d like to know more on this. I’m just telling you that since DNA started being used in trials it has made it harder to prove a person guilty AND it has proven people innocent!
There was a case in my own state that I will never forget. At the Huntington Mall in Barboursville, WV a woman was raped. They caught a man who said he did not do it. This was back in the 1980’s long before DNA. All during the trial and after he as found guilty he was screaming he did not do it. Well fast forward years later when DNA got on the scene this man demanded it and guess what? HE WAS INNOCENT. The DNA in that woman and his was not a match. They let him go and he files a lawsuit but what he won was not enough after being raped himself in prison and being wrongly accused.
Oh and they caught the man who did rape her using the DNA. He as already in prison for you guessed it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+1
that was my thought
you can be convicted without dna
they were not saying there was someone else’s dna
Woke lefty appologists have infecfted prosecutor’s offices all over America. the biggest problem they have with this is that he’s black, not yhat he was innocent.
