Man Who Spent 28 Years in Prison After Woman Dreamt He Raped Her Regains Freedom (Photo)

Finally, a man who spent 28 years in prison for a crime he never committed has gained his freedom. The man named Clarence Moses-El was convicted and spent nearly three decades in prison after a woman dreamt he raped her.

However, a judge overturned Moses-El’s rape conviction saying he would more than likely be found innocent if the case returned to court. The victim originally named someone else when asked who’d attacked her but later said Mr Moses-El’s face came to her in a dream and that was how Moses-El was convicted of a crime he never did.

At the beginning of the case, the assault victim first named a man who said he had sex with her, then she said Mr Moses-EL’s face came to her in a dream. Although Moses-El contested the case with the police as he had nothing to do with the woman, he was convicted.

However, He won a legal bid for DNA testing of the evidence, but Denver police threw it away, and in 2008 the Colorado governor fought legislation that would have given him a new trial.

But in 2013, Mr Moses-El received a letter from LC Jackson in which he admitted he had had sex with the victim on that night in 1987, but claimed it was consensual – triggering the re-opening of the case. The new evidence by LC Jackson saw about his release.
