Kirk Bloodsworth

Kirk Bloodsworth would make national news as being the very first man to be exonerated from his murder conviction by DNA testing. A former Marine, Bloodsworth had been honorably discharged from his military duties and go back home to Maryland to work as a waterman and fisherman. Then in 1985, he would be convicted of rape, as well as first-degree murder of a 9-year old girl in Rosedale, Maryland.
