Primary Content
A Georgia man has been released from prison after spending more than a third of his life incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit.
News outlets report 44-year-old Kerry Robinson walked out of a South Georgia prison Wednesday after 17 years and hugged his relatives.
His attorneys at the Atlanta-based Georgia Innocence Project say he was convicted in 2002 of breaking into a woman’s home nine years prior and sexually assaulting her.
Robinson filed a motion for a new trial in September and was exonerated after DNA evidence retested using modern technology proved an original analysis was misleading.
Robinson maintained his innocence from the beginning.
