Innocent Man Released After 33 Years in Prison

(BURKEVILLE) — A man has been released from a Virginia prison after serving more than three decades for crimes authorities now say he didn't commit.

Keith Allen Harward walked out of the Nottoway Correctional Center on Friday after the Virginia Supreme Court agreed that DNA evidence proves he's innocent of the 1982 killing of Jesse Perron and the rape of his wife in Newport News.

Harward was a sailor on the USS Carl Vinson, which was stationed close to the victims' home.
