Charles Chatman Released from Prison

Charles Chatman, 47, spent 27 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.  Convicted of aggravated sexual assault in 1981, Chatman was sentenced 99 years in prison.

After reviewing new DNA evidence, a Texas judge suggested that his sentence be overturned.

According to the Innocence Project, Chatman is just one of thirty inmates in Dallas County to be set free by DNA testing.
