With help from many injustice reformers and law students, I had the DNA that was needed to exonerate me from this case. After serving 16 years in prison, I was released and exonerated of all crimes, given a civil suit  and was given a private compensation bill along with state statute legally exonerating through a legislative bill. Later on, DNA testing was used to find the real offender of this crime. After DNA testing the CODIS database picked up on a violent serial offender “Willie Randolph.” who lived close by to the highway path during the time of the incident.
