Exoneration

Earlier we had listened to a story on the radio about three men who were falsely accused of murder and how they were exonerated through DNA testing. The story was telling about how a body was found near some railroad tracks and there was no one around that the police could bring in for the crime and so they went and actually gathered up these 3 men who had past criminal offenses and the police pretty much framed them for the murder of this girl who was found. One of the accused men was actually brought in and told that if he signed a piece of paper he could then go, but after he signed it he was put in jail. They were stuck in there for more than 15 years on false charges! Although through DNA testing they were able to take their case back to court and were exonerated.
