发帖数: 802 | 1 A former U.S. sailor who has spent 33 years in prison was released today
after new DNA evidence showed he was wrongfully convicted of murder and rape
and says that he regrets that his parents aren't alive "to enjoy the day"
he walked free.
Keith Allen Harward, 60, was found guilty for both the 1982 murder of a
Newport News, Virginia, man and the rape of his wife. Key to his conviction
was testimony by two experts who implicated Harward due to similarities
between his teeth and bite marks that were found on the woman's legs.
Harward was a sailor on the USS Carl Vinson, which was stationed at the
shipyard close to the victims' home at the time of the crime. A security
guard identified Harward as the man he saw entering the shipyard wearing a
bloody uniform, but the woman never identified him as her attacker. The
prosecution's case relied heavily on the testimony of two experts who
testified that his teeth matched bite marks on the woman's leg. No other
physical evidence linked Harward to the crime.
没有DNA，连受害人都没有指认他，只是两个专家鉴定牙印吻合。

发帖数: 802 | 4 The Innocence Project got involved in Harward's case about two years ago and
pushed for DNA tests, which failed to identify Harward's genetic profile in
sperm left at the crime scene. The DNA matched that of one of Harward's
former shipmate's, Jerry L. Crotty, who died in an Ohio prison in June 2006,
where he was serving a sentence for abduction.
