Judge dismisses case of man who spent 30 years in prison for Ada rape_我的网站

一 |     OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma judge on Tuesday exonerated a man who spent 30 years in prison for a 1987 rape and burglary, after post-conviction DNA testing from a rape kit showed he did not commit the crime.Pontotoc County District Judge Steven Kessinger issued a final order that vacates Perry Lott's conviction and permanently dismisses the case. “I have never lost hope that this day would come,” Lott, 61, said in a statement. "I had faith that the truth would prevail, even after 35 long years.“I can finally shut this door and move on with my life.”Lott was released from prison in 2018 after the DNA results first came to light, but only after agreeing to a deal with former District Attorney Paul Smith to modify his sentence. The agreement allowed Lott to leave prison and remain free while his motion to vacate was litigated. At the time, Smith said the DNA evidence did not exclude Lott as a suspect.But earlier this year, the Innocence Project, which helped to free Lott, approached newly elected District Attorney Erik Johnson, who reviewed the case and agreed the conviction should be vacated.“Five years ago, all evidence pointed to his innocence, but he was denied justice,” Innocence Project Senior Staff Attorney Adnan Sultan said in a statement. "We are grateful to District Attorney Erik Johnson for his commitment to righting this wrong.”Oklahoma state law requires a conviction to be vacated in order for a wrongfully convicted person to be able to seek up to $175,000 in compensation from the state.Lott's case occurred around the same time and in the same county as the convictions of Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot, whose cases have come under intense scrutiny and have been the subject of numerous books, including John Grisham's “The Innocent Man,” which he produced into a six-part documentary on Netflix. A federal judge ordered Fontenot released, but Ward remains in prison.The books and documentary also feature the high-profile exoneration of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, who both were convicted in the same county for the 1982 killing of Ada waitress Debra Sue Carter. That case featured the same cast of investigators and prosecutors, along with the same jailhouse informant who testified against Ward and Fontenot. Williamson at one point came within days of being executed. Both were later freed.。    央视网消息：据"中国水利"公众号消息，今年4月1日入汛以来，珠江流域北江、韩江已分别发生2次编号洪水。受近日强降雨影响，珠江流域韩江、东江、北江仍有涨水过程。4月28日12时50分，韩江干流三河坝水文站（广东梅州）水位涨至42.01米，超过警戒水位（42.00米）0.01米，依据水利部《全国主要江河洪水编号规定》，编号为“韩江2024年第3号洪水”。　　针对广东省汛情，水利部已于4月28日10时启动洪水防御Ⅳ级应急响应，要求广东省、水利部珠江水利委员会加强雨水情监测预报，强化中小水库、病险水库、在建工程安全度汛措施，抓好强降雨可能引发的山洪灾害和中小河流洪水防范工作，严格执行领导带班和24小时值班值守制度，确保信息传送及时、畅通。　　目前，水利部派出的工作组仍在韩江一线指导暴雨洪水防御工作。
