An Oregon man was convicted last year of sexually molesting a minor and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The accuser told the court the man shot and killed her dog (black Labrador) and threatened to kill her other animals if she went to the police.
The accused denied the accusations. The Oregon innocence project took up the guy's case and with assistance from the District Attorney, they set out to track down the whereabouts of the black Lab. They eventually found the animal, alive living with another family !!
Owing to this new development, the guy's conviction was voided and he was released from prison.
The D.A. says he is not certain the accused did not molest the kid ; but "he is not convinced he did".

When people lie on such a major issue, they should be held accountable. Huge props to the Innocence Project and the D.A. for willing to keep an open mind.
