Man exonerated over wrongful rape conviction after 36 years in prison: 'Being innocent is a thing where you never give up on yourself.'
The fingerprints at the scene were not a match.
"Being innocent is a thing where you never give up on yourself, you always fight for your freedom no matter what,"from outside a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, courthouse shared by The Advocate, a New Orleans newspaper. There were also legal hurdles surrounding the testing of fingerprints, and as the technology progressed, that led to the key to Williams' release.
The Innocence Project reports that Forbes was arrested in 1986, confessed to four other rapes -- not including the one Williams was convicted for -- and died in prison in 1996.
