	Description:		In 1991, Darnell Philips was 19 years old when he was sentenced to 100 years in prison for raping and brutally beating a 10-year-old girl in Virginia Beach, in the USA. In 2015, the Innocence Project based at the University of Virginia, found, and had tested, new DNA evidence that they say proves he was not at the scene of the crime. This crucial development led to Darnell being freed from prison, on parole, in 2018, after serving 28 years in prison. Darnell, now 50, has always insisted on his innocence, but his conviction has still not been overturned. This is due to a legal procedure in the law courts that lawyers believe a groundbreaking new law will remove, allowing Darnell to finally prove his innocence Links: Darnell Instagram Innocence Project Virginia Second Chance Podcast Links: Website Buzzsprout Apple Podcast Facebook Donation Support: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/secondchance1 Support the show (https://paypal.me/secondchancepodcast?locale.x=en_GB)
