Charles Chatman Unlucky Guys of The Year
Amazing that a man can be convicted of rape and thrown in prison for decades. All on the say-so of one woman who 'picked him out of a line-up. When a fellow like this is found clearly NOT GUILTY using proven modern technology, that means there is a GUILTY guy out there somewhere.

DNA Test Frees Wrongfully Convicted Inmate Charles Chatman After 27 Years
For 27 years, Charles Chatman has maintained that he did not rape a woman who lived five doors down from him—a charge that landed him behind bars on a 99-year sentence.
Until this morning.
DNA testing found that the Dallas man was wrongly convicted, according to the Associated Press and, following a recommendation from a judge that his 1981 aggravated assault charge be overturned, Chatman is a free man.
That makes Chatman the latest of 15 inmates from Dallas County to be cleared of charges thanks to DNA testing, according to the Guardian Unlimited. Chatman spent the most time behind bars.
According to reports, 30 inmates in the state of Texas have been released from prison after DNA findings revealed they had been wrongly convicted.
That is the most of any state in the nation.
Eight siblings cheered the 47-year-old Chatman as he was released on his own recognizance from prison.
Do they have a «Cold Case Group» ready to pick up the files after the court hearing that releases this man and then ASAP find the true perp in such cases?
