created on 01/04/2011 12:26 pm

A Texas man imprisoned 30 years ago on rape and murder charges had his conviction overturned on Tuesday after DNA evidence exonerated him.

Cornelius Dupree Jr. spent more time behind bars than any other exonerated inmate in the state. Dallas County Judge Don Adams overturned his conviction Tuesday after DNA tests proved he could not have committed the crime.
