It sucks to see someone wrongfully convicted.

I'd still like to see is prior arrests though.

I don't think (for me) there would be enough payoff. That's 16 years of his life he will NEVER get back.

That wouldn't matter how can they find DNA to reverse his conviction 16 years later instead of during the investigation? Wtf takes 16 years to get it done? It's bs I think.

Read the article.

New analysis showed those additional samples matched the DNA of Douglas Thames, who is serving a life sentence without parole for the 1989 rape and strangulation of Susan Doll, 39, of Fort Collins, according to court papers filed in the Dewey case.

....

He explained that Thames [the new suspected killer] was not arrested in the Doll case until after Dewey's 1995 arrest in the Taylor murder, and Thames' DNA information was not contained in a statewide database for inmates back then.

I'd still like to see his priors. If all he's got is a little pop possession and floated a check or two, then 16 years wasted is horrible injustice.

But if he's got a history of violent crimes and/or violent robberies and this incorrect allegation was just the last of many convictions, then I don't feel sorry for him at all.
