DNA clears man of rape after 12 years in prison
Reported by MSNBC.com
DNA testing has freed a man wrongfully convicted of rape and imprisoned for more then 12 years. The New York based Innocence Project say that Cage is the 29th person in Illinois exonerated by post-conviction DNA evidence.
The 41-year-old man was released from prison late Tuesday after Chief Criminal Court Judge Paul Biebel dismissed the conviction at the request of prosecutors.
Cage was convicted of assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 1994 and was sentenced to 40 years behind bars. He insisted he was home at the time of the attack.
