Texas man freed after DNA clears him of 1988 rape
Texas News-Having a life away from your family is like living in darkness. Much worse if you are go behind bars for allegedly committed a serious crimes you know yourself you did not.
In FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) a man who spent more than two decades behind bars was finally freed from serving his sentence in jail. It was through DNA test that set him free. The test proved that he was truly innocent from the crime that was pointing on him.
David Lee Wiggins was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1989 from raping a 14-year-old Fort Worth girl.
The DNA testing earlier this month excluded Wiggins as the person who committed the crime. Tarrant County prosecutors said DNA evidence demonstrated his innocence.
‘‘I hold no bitterness,’’ Wiggins said in court after the judge’s ruling. ‘‘I'm thankful to Jesus Christ. He said he could move mountains, and surely this was a mountain. ... And to the victim: I'm not mad at you. I don’t hold you responsible.’’
The truth will set you free. No matter how long it takes just don’t give up. Forgive those who do you wrong and you will be rewarded just like what happened to Wiggins.
After his conviction is formally reversed, Wiggins will be eligible for $80,000 a year in compensation that Texas pays to wrongfully convicted ex-inmates.
The amount he will received cannot compensate for the years that was lost to him and to his family. But it was a big help for him to start a something new and to have a better life outside the prison.
Wiggins would be the second person to have a conviction overturned by DNA in Tarrant County since 2001. It only shows that mistaken identity in Texas is serious.
Wiggins said he agreed to be in a police lineup in 1988 because he knew that he didn’t commit the crime and thought he had nothing to worry about. Instead, it led to a 24-year nightmare that ended Friday.
‘‘I always believed the truth would come out,’’ he said.
Having mistaken as a criminal could destroy everything you have. It is a very serious crime that should be stop because it can ruin the life of innocent people.

Randy Travis Assaulted The Husband of Her Friend
Texas News-Randy Travis was named for an assault that took place at Prestonwood Baptist Church parking lot last Thursday night. A married couple was arguing and he suddenly stepped into the argument.
According to the spokesman of the city police, Travis was under the influence of alcohol. "Witnesses are reporting and our investigation revealed that Mr. Travis assaulted the husband," added by Officer David Tilley, and that Travis was a friend of the wife.
No injury was reported but the cause of the incident remains unclear. A traffic ticket was issued to Travis since the incident happened in the parking lot. Tilley said, "It must have been something very minor, I can tell you that," and he added that an offense of unwanted physical contact could be charged to Travis. The singer was born in South Carolina and was a Grammy Award winner.
A few of his well-known songs are “Out of My Bones” and “Forever and Ever Amen”. Though he was famous the law exempts no one so he would still have to face the local court to deal with his offense. No comment was given by Travis’ side.
"I've seen the reports and I don't know where they're getting this information," Tilley said and added that he is in doubt that Travis was intoxicated by the media with the incident. Travis was also found to be lying naked on the road near his car by a Texas trooper earlier this month.
He was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and run into highway construction barriers and retaliation earlier this month according to the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office.
