CNN will feature the sad story of Dean Cage - the man wrongfully accused of rape and was in prison for 12 years for the crime he did not commit. Innocence Project, a national nonprofit that works to exonerate the innocent, helped Dean Cage’s release. The group has used DNA testing to overturn convictions of 244 inmates.
Watch CNN on Tuesday as Dean Cage and her fiance Jewel Mitchell tried to work their relationship amidst all the odds.
It was 1996, and the man she was supposed to marry - the man her girls idolized - had already been gone two years. But this Christmas, he was supposed to come home and pick up where they had left off:
Walking Latoni and Latoya to school. Playing Chutes and Ladders with them on Friday nights. Taking their mother on dates to the lakefront to watch the waves of Lake Michigan dance.
But Jewel’s fiancé wasn’t returning to their home on Chicago’s South Side. Five days earlier, Dean Cage, had been sentenced to 40 years in prison for an aggravated sexual assault he said he didn’t commit. Jewel was his alibi. At the time of the attack, she said, he was asleep next to her.
