And in Denver, Colorado, a jury has ruled not guilty in the retrial of Clarence Moses-EL, an African-American man who was convicted of rape in 1987 after a woman said she dreamed he was the man who raped and beat her in the dark. Moses-EL has always maintained his innocence. In 2012, another man confessed to the attack. Moses-EL was freed in 2015, after more than 28 years in prison. This fall, prosecutors decided to retry Moses-EL, despite the other man’s confession. On Monday, a jury found him not guilty. This is Moses-EL speaking on Democracy Now! about seeing his grandchildren for the very first time, after he was released from prison last year.

Clarence Moses-EL: “When I was arrested for this case in 1987, my youngest grandson, that I believe the camera showed him the other day when I came out, Arell was the size and age of my son Anthony. He was three, going on four. So, to see my grandchildren, it was just overwhelming to know that my son had grown up into an adult, and now he have children. And to see those children, it was—it was just mind-boggling. I felt good about it, but it was just mind-boggling, because I couldn’t really believe it, that I got grandkids.”
