Johnny Briscoe is an American man falsely convicted of rape and other crimes and subsequently exonerated by DNA evidence.
In the court room, Briscoe responded to a question and said that the Brewers won the World Series, making the alibi incredible.
The jury took less than 2 hours to convict Briscoe of all the charges: rape, sodomy, burglary, robbery, stealing and armed criminal action.
Briscoe requested that evidence from the crime scene be tested for DNA but the St. Louis District Attorney refused.
In 2000, Centurion Ministries took the case, and, that year and again in 2001, requested that the St. Louis Crime Laboratory search for DNA evidence.
prison on July 19, 2006, just days after being told that the evidence had been found and tested, he has served 23 years behind bars.
