"Wrongfully Convicted California Man Exonerated After DNA Testing"

Gerardo Cabanillas, a California man, has been exonerated after spending nearly three decades in prison for kidnapping, sexual assault, and robbery convictions. New DNA testing revealed his innocence, leading to his release. Cabanillas had been arrested in 1995 based on a general description matching one of the suspects. Despite maintaining his innocence, he was sentenced to life in prison. The California Innocence Project filed a motion to test DNA evidence, which did not match Cabanillas. A new suspect has been identified using the DNA testing, who is in custody for an unrelated killing.
