A Pennsylvania death row inmate became the first in the state to be exonerated by DNA evidence after prosecutors announced yesterday they would not retry him for the 1981 rape and murder of a suburban Philadelphia woman.

So what's your point?

Thanks for link - I did read the story. This man received fair justice and will not be put to death for a crime he supposedly did not commit, perhaps through help of divine intervention for all we know. However, it also mentions "various other offenses" he has committed elsewhere in Florida etc. so let's not go out and have a pity party for him and pretend he is white as snow.
