DNA Evidence Leads to Exonerations in Mississippi, 30 Years Later

wrongfully-accused-getting-released-from-prison are popping up more and
more frequently? The latest involves two men who were serving time in
Mississippi. On Thursday, Phillip Bivens and Bobby Ray Dixon, who’d
been serving life sentences for murder, were exonerated by a federal
judge. After 30 years in prison, they were suddenly free, having been
cleared by DNA evidence that pointed to another man.
