Police withhold DNA evidence for ten years

Evidence that would eventually prove this man's innocence was withheld by the police for ten years. They initially lied and said it had been destroyed. Congratulations to the Innocence Project for thier assistance.

“LOST” EVIDENCE EXONERATES SEDRICK COURTNEY

Sedrick Courtney after his exoneration hearing.

Sedrick Courtney was wrongfully convicted of an armed robbery and burglary in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spent 15 years in prison and a year on parole before DNA testing proved his innocence. He first requested DNA testing ten years ago, but the Tulsa Police Department repeatedly claimed the evidence had been destroyed, until finally discovering they still had the evidence in their possession last year.
