The week marks the two-year anniversary of Ronald Taylor’s exoneration in Houston, Texas. Taylor was convicted based in part on flawed forensic tests conducted at the troubled Houston Police Department crime lab. He is one of at least three people cleared by DNA testing after being convicted based on faulty tests in the Houston lab.
After his release, he married his longtime fiancée, Jeanette Brown, and the couple now lives in Atlanta.
