<p>“A man who contended throughout his 26 years in prison that he never raped a woman who lived five houses down from him was freed Thursday after a judge recommended overturning his conviction.”</p>
<p>“I’m bitter. I’m angry,” Chatman told The Associated Press during his last night in jail Wednesday. “But I’m not angry or bitter to the point where I want to hurt anyone or get revenge.”</p>

<p>This is really sad that a person’s freedom can be taken away like this even though they’re completely innocent. I wonder how the victim feels knowing what she did to this man? If she has a conscience hopefully she can’t sleep for the balance of her life. As for the prosecutor, well most are only interested in putting another notch in their belt on the way to political gain.</p>
