A man was released from prison after finally being exonerated for a rape case that led to him spending 25 years behind bars.
William Barnhouse, the mentally disabled man who was falsely convicted, said, “(i)t was rough. I was always innocent. I’m glad it’s finally over. I feel so happy.”
The case occurred in 1992, when a rape victim falsely identified him as an assailant. Courts moved quickly to convict him based on shaky “evidence” of a hair sample.
