Man Exonerated Based on DNA Mixture After Serving 16 Years

February 08, 2017 in Forensics, Investigation, Justice, Criminal Justice

Two men who served decades behind bars for a brutal 1989 gang rape have both been released and exonerated, based on complex DNA mixture interpretation.

The rape charge and conviction of Roosevelt Glenn—which had kept him for in prison for 16 years—were tossed out last week by an Indiana Superior Court Judge.

“The court finds that newly discovered evidence exists which entitles Roosevelt Glenn to a new trial … The court finds the state is unable to retry Roosevelt Glenn,” ruled Honorable T. Edward Page on Jan. 30. “The court concludes that the criminal charges against Roosevelt Glenn … should be dismissed.”
