A former Fort Worth, Texas, police officer who was sentenced to life in prison after being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1994 was exonerated on Friday, according to several reports.
Brian Franklin was exonerated after spending 21 years in prison. He was released in May when the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted him a new trial, which ended after less than two hours on Friday with a “not guilty” verdict, according to Fox 4.
Franklin got a new trial when the court ruled he was denied due process after it was discovered that his alleged victim lied under oath, according to Cbsdfw.
