A | OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma judge on Tuesday exonerated a man who spent 30 years in prison for a 1987 rape and burglary, after post-conviction DNA testing from a rape kit showed he did not commit the crime.Pontotoc County District Judge Steven Kessinger issued a final order that vacates Perry Lott's conviction and permanently dismisses the case. “I have never lost hope that this day would come,” Lott, 61, said in a statement. "I had faith that the truth would prevail, even after 35 long years.“I can finally shut this door and move on with my life.”Lott was released from prison in 2018 after the DNA results first came to light, but only after agreeing to a deal with former District Attorney Paul Smith to modify his sentence. The agreement allowed Lott to leave prison and remain free while his motion to vacate was litigated. At the time, Smith said the DNA evidence did not exclude Lott as a suspect.But earlier this year, the Innocence Project, which helped to free Lott, approached newly elected District Attorney Erik Johnson, who reviewed the case and agreed the conviction should be vacated.“Five years ago, all evidence pointed to his innocence, but he was denied justice,” Innocence Project Senior Staff Attorney Adnan Sultan said in a statement. "We are grateful to District Attorney Erik Johnson for his commitment to righting this wrong.”Oklahoma state law requires a conviction to be vacated in order for a wrongfully convicted person to be able to seek up to $175,000 in compensation from the state.Lott's case occurred around the same time and in the same county as the convictions of Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot, whose cases have come under intense scrutiny and have been the subject of numerous books, including John Grisham's “The Innocent Man,” which he produced into a six-part documentary on Netflix. A federal judge ordered Fontenot released, but Ward remains in prison.The books and documentary also feature the high-profile exoneration of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, who both were convicted in the same county for the 1982 killing of Ada waitress Debra Sue Carter. That case featured the same cast of investigators and prosecutors, along with the same jailhouse informant who testified against Ward and Fontenot. Williamson at one point came within days of being executed. Both were later freed.。1月15日:一张微不足道的鸡蛋照片最近打破了Instagram的表扬记录。到它发布时,它已经发表了超过3800万条评论,并打破了凯莉·詹纳在Instagram上最受欢迎的照片的记录。有趣的是,1月4日,匿名Instagram用户@world_record_egg发布了这张鸡蛋的简陋照片,照片的目的是打破这一记录。照片上的名言是:“让我们一起创造世界纪录吧!成为Instagram历史上最受欢迎的帖子。令人惊讶的是,在短短10天左右的时间里,这张照片确实刷新了记录,并在Instagram上赢得了最大的赞誉。这一纪录之前由凯莉·詹纳(KylieJenner)模特保留,她和她的新生婴儿的照片,并收到了1800多万次赞美。在她的记录被打破后,詹纳还发送了一个视频回复,其中她在地上打碎了一个鸡蛋来表达她的“不满”,视频现在有2560多万个广播和69000条评论。有些网友觉得这很无聊,还有人开玩笑说,如果你能做一个鸡蛋,有什么问题?。
