Clarence Harrison (born 1959) was wrongfully convicted in 1987 for the kidnapping, rape and robbery of a 25-year-old-woman in Decatur, Georgia.
In the pre-dawn hours of October 25, 1986, a woman was attacked as she walked in the rain to a bus stop in Decatur, Georgia.
[2] In February 2003, Harrison sent a hand-written letter to the newly opened Georgia Innocence Project.
After finding slides from the rape kit previously thought to have been destroyed, modern DNA testing proved that Harrison was not the rapist.
[5] The Georgia General Assembly compensated Harrison with a one million dollar sum payable as an annuity over twenty years.
