In 1981, after a Dallas woman was reportedly raped in her house, she picked 20-year-old Charles Chatman, who lived down the street from her, out of a lineup.
Soon thereafter, Chatman was charged and convicted of rape and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. He maintained he was an innocent man and said the victimmisidentifiedhim as the culprit. He went to the parole board three times but according to sources, was denied every time because he refused to admit guilt to the crime.
However, after years of struggling to get a DNA test, the court finally allowed him to do it in 2007. In 2008, the DNA exculpated him in the rape. Chatman was officially exonerated on February 26, 2008.
As of 2012, Chatman had received $2,417,845 in state compensation.
