City of Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles - In 1995, David Allen Jones was convicted of killing Tammie Christmas, Mary Edwards and Debra Williams and raping a fourth woman. Jones was held even though there were no witnesses, no clues leading to Jones and blood evidence argued against his involvement. Jones was a part-time janitor who had an IQ of around 68 comparable to the mental capacity of an 8-year-old. Jones was freed in March 2004, after DNA tests cleared him in the cases. The Los Angeles City Council approved a $720,000 settlement for the mentally disabled janitor. (Oct-04-06) [CBS NEWS: WRONGFUL CONVICTION]
