I can't tell what you are talking about. Do you have a link to that case. People are not just realeased by DNA tests. What about these "DNA tests released them" as you say? Why do you say they were guilty...what was the evidence used to convict them? Were they convited at trial, then released later? Your scant facts don't seem to make any point.
I wasn't specific. Just trying to post quickly.
Again, I'm not saying this man's release was a result of a technicality. I'm just wondering about ALL the cases lately with prisoners released. There seems to be so many of them.
The story to which I referred: The victim was a college student living in Philadelphia. She was jogging one night when she saw two men breaking into a vehicle. She confronted them (big mistake) and was knocked down and dragged into their van. The two men confessed that, while one was driving, the other raped her in the back of the van, but he couldn't "finish". Thus he didn't leave DNA evidence, if you get my drift. Apparently, she must've been with someone else that night, and HIS DNA evidence showed up. But the man never stepped forward.
I'll try to find the story online another time. It could be that, in the years since then, there was more info in the case... But the men arrested were released.
But, again, I'm not saying that was the case in this thread's story.
