TL;DR Summary

Daniel Saldana, who spent 33 years in prison for attempted murder, has been declared innocent and freed after another convicted attacker told authorities that Saldana "was not involved in the shooting in any way and he was not present during the incident." Saldana was convicted in 1990 of opening fire on a car containing six teenagers who were leaving a high school football game in Baldwin Park, east of Los Angeles. The district attorney apologized to Saldana and his family and said that the real people responsible for the injustice are still out there to commit other crimes.
