The California Innocence Project says Gerardo Cabanillas confessed to rape, robbery and kidnapping after a detective told him he'd only get probation if he did.
A man who was wrongfully for multiple crimes and spent 28 years behind bars was exonerated, said the Los Angeles County District Attorney, George Gascón.
After a California man spent nearly three decades in prison for kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery convictions, new DNA testing has revealed he was innocent of those crimes, a prosecutor announced.
DNA testing helped exonerate Gerardo Cabanillas (pictured) in the attack on a couple sitting in a parked car in the city of South Gate, California, the DA s office said in a statement on Tuesday.
A California man who served nearly 30 years in prison for rape has been released after DNA testing revealed he was not one of the attackers in the case.
