A Milwaukee man has been serving a life sentence since he was convicted for the murder of a 16 year old girl in 1995. However, DNA evidence has recently granted him his freedom.

Tests have shown that the DNA of an unknown man was found on the girl as well as two other murder victims around the same time. Because of this, a state appeals court has granted a new trial. A finding of guilt may not be permanent. If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges, contact the Milwaukee criminal lawyers of Kohler & Hart, LLP at 888-565-7597.
