http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19374637/from/RS.5/AUSTIN, Texas - A court has exonerated a man who spent 10 years in prison for a gang rape that DNA evidence later proved he did not commit.
The state Court of Criminal Appeals granted James Curtis Giles a writ of habeas corpus — a right to protest one's detention — making him the 13th Dallas County man cleared of a crime since 2001 with the help of DNA evidence.

Texas leads the nation with 29 DNA exonerations, two more than Illinois, according to Innocence Project figures.
