A Virginia man, Marvin Grimm Jr., who was wrongfully convicted of abduction, rape, and murder of a 3-year-old in 1975, has been exonerated. DNA and toxicology evidence proved his innocence. Grimm was released from prison in 1997, and his conviction was set aside in 2016 by Smith County prosecutors. On Tuesday, a Virginia appeals court fully exonerated him, formally granting him a Certificate of Innocence. This ruling comes nearly 50 years after the initial conviction, highlighting significant prosecutorial misconduct.
