"North Carolina's state-run innocence commission—the only state-run innocence agency in the country—has found its first exoneration.It was the first case won by the commission, which was established in 2006 after a wave of embarrassing wrongful convictions in North Carolina..."...a panel of North Carolina judges ruled Wednesday that a man was wrongfully convicted of murdering a prostitute in 1991 and freed him after 16 years in prison.
The three-judge panel found “clear and convincing evidence” that the man, Gregory F. Taylor, was innocent and had been convicted based on flawed evidence and unreliable testimony.
