Although James Waller was paroled in 1993, he continued fighting to prove his innocence for the rape conviction for which he had served a decade in prison. Waller was found guilty based mainly on a single eyewitness identification from the child victim, despite having a strong alibi. After saving money for DNA testing, he was excluded as a match for hairs found at the crime scene, but it took almost five more years for further DNA tests, obtained with the assistance of the Innocence Project, to fully clear him. Waller was pardoned three years ago this week.
