Dallas County is expected to exonerate the longest-serving prisoner shown to be innocent through DNA evidence this week. Cornelius Dupree Jr., and Anthony Massingill were wrongly identified by a rape victim in 1979. You can read about it here.
Yet again we see themes common to many of these cases. Bad eye-witness testimony, failure to presume people innocent, and and decades of indifference. Dallas has had the single most exonerations in America.
