ArticleDNA test absolves inmate after 16 years imprisonment
Defense lawyers say the Oklahoma case calls into question unproven science that has led to criminal convictions for a century. The men are the 61st and 62d inmates in the nation to be exonerated by DNA evidence, according to the Justice Department. Williamson is the 78th person in the country since 1970 to be cleared after being on death row, says the Death Penalty Information Center, an anti-death penalty group.
"We will get thousands of people out," said Barry Scheck, a lawyer for Fritz and director of the Innocence Project atthe Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in New York.

Why it warrants attention again is quite a different story: one that involves a longtime star of the once-fabled FBI Laboratory and a Boston criminal-defense lawyer who is still seeking to overturn Dr. MacDonald's conviction.
