'I apologize to Chester Hollman. I apologize because he was failed, and in failing him, we failed the victim, and we failed the community of the city of Philadelphia,' said Assistant District
A Philadelphia man who was wrongly convicted for a 1991 murder and subsequently spent 28 years in prison has had all charges against him dropped while also receiving a formal apology from the state District Attorney's Office .
In an emotional hearing on Tuesday at the Stout Centre for Criminal Justice, officials from the DAO apologiZed to Hollman for the miscarriage of justice, noting that it was"near-impossible" that he committed the crime. Hollman was arrested shortly after the murder of Tae-Jung Ho, a University of Pennsylvania foreign exchange student who was shot dead on August 20, 1991, at around 1 a.m during a botched robbery.
But in a twist of fate, the suppressed evidence shows that there was another suspect who was also driving a white Chevy Blazer with a YZA plate that same night.
