On April 21, 1992, a 22 year old women had been raped behind a vacant building in Muncie, Indiana. Based on the description given by the young women, the police picked up a 35 year old by the name of William Barnhouse. The evidence found on the victim was a strand of hair that was said to be a match for Barnhouse. On this strand of hair Barnhouse was convicted to 80 years in prison. In 2013, the FBI concluded that the comparison of two hairs is scientifically invalid.

Based on what I have read in articles and seen on videos, the police picked this 35 year old man just based on a description given. They had no hard evidence, instead they just randomly chose this suspected man, and identified him as a convicted rapist.

MUNCIE, Ind. -- A Muncie man who spent nearly 25 years in prison for rape is now free after a judge overturned his conviction on Wednesday.

Delaware Circuit Judge Kimberly Dowling granted a motion to set aside William Barnhouse's 1992 conviction.

Prosecutors with the Innocence Project filed a motion for Barnhouse, 60, to be released after a DNA test they commissioned showed someone else's semen on the victim's pants.

The Innocence Project has exonerated more than 300 convicted felons through DNA results since they were founded in 1992.

The Innocence Project's mission is to free the staggering number of innocent people who remain incarcerated, and to bring reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.

You can see all of the people exonerated by the group on The Innocence Project's website.

The testing identified the same male DNA profile in the rape kit and on the jeans, and excluded Barnhouse as the source of the biological evidence. This then caused the prosecution to be joined with Barnhouse’s attorneys in requesting that his convictions be vacated. On March 8, 2017, Barnhouse was released from prison.
