Salon.com News | Oklahoma man freed due to DNA testing: "A man who spent 20 years in prison for rape was freed Wednesday after DNA testing proved he was innocent of the crime.

Calvin Lee Scott, 48, finished the rape sentence last year but stayed in prison on a three-year term for assault and battery of a correctional officer, the Department of Corrections said. He walked out of the Lawton Correctional Facility on Wednesday morning.

Genetic material taken from the victim the night of the rape showed Scott was not the attacker, said Jim Bednar, executive director of the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System."

This is one of the reasons that I don't like the death penalty. We have seen far too many cases of people being incorrectly incarcerated to be comfortable with putting them to death.
