Today on Cnn.com I read an article talking about a man accused of rape in October 1994. Loretta thought she saw the man who raped her by the name of Dean and during the trail, her story helped the jury to convict the man to 40 years in jail. Since then, with DNA evidence, Dean was released from prison when it was shown it wasn't him. Loretta felt it was all her fault and hated the man because people were telling her how it was all her fault. Dean felt mad at Loretta for taking 14 years of his life away from him. They met on Dr. Phil and by this time Deans anger towards her had faded. Dr. Phil helped Loretta see how she shouldn't blame herself or Dean and to blame the man who actually attacked her. They are now close friends who helped the victims of an attack and the wrongfully accused come to terms with eachother.
I feel this is a good fell good story and shows how when people such as Dean forgive the accusers, they can do great things for numerous people. I personally would still be mad at Loretta for taking away 14 years of my life and I doubt I would be able to forgive her. This whole story shows how important DNA testing is.
