DNA To The Rescue Once Again

Morton was actually offered parole if he would just show ‘remorse over murdering his wife.’ But Morton said, “All I have left is my actual innocence, and if I have to be in prison the rest of my life, I’m not giving that up.” Thankfully once more to the Innocence Project, they were able to retest the DNA found at the crime scene in February 2005, and eventually the results came back proving that Michael had been telling the truth the entire time. He did not kill his wife. He was finally set free on October 24, 2011 after spending 25 years in prison, and they were even able to convict the rightful killer of Morton’s wife.
