ATLANTA D-N-A evidence has cleared a Georgia man of rape, after 21 years in prison.
Willie Williams is being set free sometime today. Prosecutors say they're convinced he didn't do it.
A group that helps wrongly convicted individuals asked for a test after it received a letter from Williams in 2005 saying he'd been wrongly imprisoned. He was convicted based on eye-witness testimony by the victim.
Authorities have started an investigation to find the actual rapist in the 1985 attack on a woman at an apartment complex parking lot.

This the same Willie Williams convicted of murdering those kids in the late 70s/early 80s?

Doubt it... but trying to find a rapist from 1985? They are just saying that to keep anyone from asking. Just open the case and just leave it open if chick didn't pick the right guy the first time she damn sure is not gonna be able to pick now, it would of course be totally dependent upon the DNA. I cannot imagine being imprisoned that long and not come out bitter knowing I was innocent. I guess there is one thing that works in a black man's favor. The innocent ones on death row have a little time to try to prove their innocence before they are put down. That's about it.
