In Denver, Colorado, jury selection is slated to begin today 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 28 years in prison. But prosecutors have decided to retry Moses-EL, despite the other man’s confession. Click here to see our interview with Clarence Moses-EL after he was freed.
