- Thomas_Haynesworth abstract "Thomas Haynesworth (born March 21, 1965) is a Virginia man who spent 27 years in state prison for crimes he was exonerated of in 2011.Haynesworth was arrested at the age of 18 in 1984 after a woman identified him as her attacker. He was convicted of a series of violent rapes in Richmond, Virginia, now believed to have been committed by a neighbor who resembled Haynesworth, and was sentenced to 84 years in prison. Haynesworth maintained his innocence throughout the years. In 2009, new state laws and procedures allowed for DNA testing, which was not available in the 1980s, and semen collected from the first attack implicated the neighbor. After reviewing this and other evidence, local prosecutors brought the case to the office of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who began advocating for Haynesworth. His convictions in two of the cases were vacated, and he was released from prison on parole in March 2011. Haynesworth was fully exonerated in the remaining two cases in December 2011.The case, which The Washington Post called "one of the state’s most extraordinary legal cases", utilized DNA testing and new state laws that allowed possibly innocent convicts to present new evidence.".
