The same thing happened to a friend of mine. He was exonerated but the legal fees were terrible and the entire ordeal was extremely stressful. It can happen to anyone.
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. the guy was 65 y/o impotent, diabetic, and a clean record for over 35 years.
He went to court, jail, etc, and was finally cleared on appeal after a tape surfaced later on showing he was clearly innocent. His life was ruined.
