DNA wins freedom for man after 27 years

In Dallas, Texas Charles Chatman age 47 was freed after 27 years of imprisonment. He was convicted since 1981 for sexual assaulting his neighbor. A judge recommended overturning his conviction due to the basis of new DNA testing that lawyers say proved Chatman's innocence. Chatman is the 15th inmate from Dallas since 2001 to be freed by DNA testing, by an organization of volunteers who investigate claims of wrongful conviction. The state will have released at least 30 wrongfully convicted inmates, since 2001 according to the Innocence Project.Chatman claims that he never raped the woman living five houses down from him.He was 20 when the victim, a woman in her 20s, picked him from a lineup.Chatman said he never knew her, having lived near her for 13years. Serving nearly 27 years of a 99- year sentence in prison for aggravated sexual assault made Chatman the longest serving inmate in Texas to be freed by DNA evidence.
