Innocence Project wrongful convictions & Legal Ethics

An incident happened on 21st of December 1991 where a body of 36 years old lady was found naked in the men's restroom of the Phoenix, Arizona bar. She was an employee over there. The man named Ray Krone was arrested as the lady told her friend that Ray Krone who was the regular customer helped her in closing up the bar. The investigation started and the report was conducted on the bases of a blood sample and bite mark. Krone was arrested after matching the impression of teeth and case of kidnapping, sexual assault, and murder was filed against him. No DNA or semen test was conducted during the investigation.

As it was observed that victim was sexually assaulted, therefore, it was the lawyer’s misconduct that occurred because no DNA or semen test was taken into account during the case hearing. The lawyer violated the ethical rule by ignoring the important and basic evidence that should be taken into consideration in the case of sexual assault and murdering. Because of the lawyer's misconduct, Krone was sentenced to death and consecutive 21 years term of imprisonment. However, a new trial sentenced him to life in prison. Krone spent more than ten years in prison when he was found innocent. The DNA test found that real criminal was Kenneth Phillips who lived near the bar and never considered as the suspect in the case.

DNA test indicates that saliva and blood found on the victim was not of Krone. However, he had to spend more than a decade in prison. He was released on April 24th after all the charged against him were dismissed. Krone was the 12th death row inmate where post-conviction DNA test proved his innocence. He was honorably discharged and worked in the postal service for 7 years. I have chosen this article because it indicates the weakness of judicial as well as investigation unit where the most important thing that is DNA test was ignored while making a report of the case. Due to this negligence, an innocent person had to spend a decade in prison.
