Charles Chatman Freed after Serving 26 Years for a Sexual Assault he Never Committed

A Dallas judge recommended that Charles Chatman be released on Thursday after the 47-year-old man served 26 years for an aggravated sexual assault that he never committed.

DNA tests proved that Chatman, who lived five houses down from the woman who was assaulted, was never involved in the crime that he was convicted of and sentenced to 99 years.

Chatman had maintained his innocence throughout his time in prison and the Innocence Project took on his case and was able to prove through DNA evidence that Chatman was telling the truth.
