A Connecticut Judge has dismissed all murder and rape charges against Kenneth Ireland, a man who spent more than 20 years behind bars for a crime that DNA evidence proves he didn’t commit.

“Ireland was 20 years old when he was sentenced to 50 years in prison for the 1986 rape and murder of Barbara Pelkey, a mother of four. Her nude body was found at the Wallingford manufacturing plant where she worked alone at night.”

“Prosecutors say they have reopened the investigation into her death.”
