Florida man becomes 209th DNA exoneration
"Chad Heins was exonerated in Florida this morning when prosecutors
dropped pending charges against him for the murder of his
sister-in-law, a crime he has always said he didn’t commit. New DNA
evidence proves that another man committed the crime and Heins will be
released this afternoon. He is the 209th person exonerated by DNA
testing," says the Innocence Project.
Earlier, The Florida Times-Union says DNA bolsters Heins' innocence claim.
