A man who served 31 years for a crime he did not commit has hired attorneys to help continue his fight for exoneration. The Tennessean reports Lawrence McKinney, 60, was found guilty of rape in 1978, but was released in 2009 after DNA evidence cleared him of the crime. McKinney’s record has been since expunged, but he has not been exonerated, though he applied once shortly after his release. The Tennessee Board of Parole recently informed McKinney and his attorneys, David Raybin and Jack Lowery, that it was considering a hearing.
