At least he didn't die in prison for it. I read some stuff recently for school about how on average it takes 10 years for someone to be exonerated... some people have even died before being released... having spent the rest of their life in prison for something they didn't do. There was one, a similar story to this where the guy died and the family is still trying to have his name cleared... as is the accuser. Imagine having to live with the fact that you wasted 11 years of someones life!
