Chris Turner was one of eight men convicted in the 1984 murder of Catherine Fuller in Washington, D.C. He was 19 years old at the time of his arrest and had been planning to enlist in the Air Force.
**The Case:**
* Catherine Fuller, a 49-year-old mother, was found beaten and sexually assaulted in an alley.
* Police theorized that her death was the result of a gang attack, despite a lack of physical evidence linking the accused to the crime scene.
* The prosecution's case relied heavily on inconsistent and often-coerced witness testimonies.
* Turner was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. He was released on parole in 2010 or 2011 after serving 25 years in prison, but has always maintained his innocence.
**Life After Prison:**
* Since his release, Turner has been an advocate for the wrongfully accused. He has worked with the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project and has spoken about his experience to raise awareness about issues in the justice system.
