TL;DR Summary

Daniel Saldana, who spent 33 years in prison for attempted murder, has been declared innocent and freed after it emerged that he was not even at the scene of the attack. Investigations into Saldana’s case began in February after the district attorney’s office learned that another convicted attacker had told authorities during a 2017 parole hearing that Saldana “was not involved in the shooting in any way and he was not present during the incident.” The district attorney apologised to Saldana and his family and said that every time an injustice of this magnitude takes place, the real people responsible are still out there to commit other crimes.
