Look what happens when you throw the Republicans out on their asses

like Dallas did last election. Kudos to Dallas' first African American District Attorney and the first Democrat since 1986 in that office.

The Dallas County district attorney's office said Thursday that a man sent to prison for a 1982 gang rape was wrongly convicted and that it will join his attorneys' request to have his name cleared.

Prosecutors now acknowledge that Dallas police had evidence that would have implicated another man but did not turn it over to defense attorneys.

Attorneys for James Curtis Giles asked state District Judge Robert Francis on Thursday to find that Mr. Giles was not one of three men who savagely assaulted an 18-year-old woman in Far North Dallas.

Mr. Giles, his attorneys contend, spent 10 years in prison for a crime their investigation shows was committed by another man with an almost identical name who was a known associate of the two attackers identified by DNA evidence.
