I wouldn't count on it. Richard Paey is still in prison, and his story has been on 60 Minutes and written up in the National Review and the New York Times.

Point taken. The difference is, she has not been convicted yet.
Once a person is convicted, the system will fight a death struggle to prevent them being released. You've probably noticed that only recently, after many years, have prosecutors stopped fighting against allowing old semen samples to be tested for DNA in rape convictions. Finally, DA's offices are starting to give up this practice of hanging onto these old convictions---even when they are provably false. The reason is incredibly enough, people in prosecutors offices feel that their careers are more important than keeping an innocent person in jail.
