Colorado: DA to Retry Man Who Served 28 Years After Being Convicted Based on Dream
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Denver, Colorado, jury selection is slated to begin today in the
retrial of Clarence Moses-EL, an African-American man who was convicted
of rape in 1987 after a woman said she dreamed he was the man who raped
and beat her in the dark. Moses-EL has always maintained his innocence.
In 2012, another man confessed to the attack. Moses-EL was freed in
2015, after 28 years in prison. But prosecutors have decided to retry
Moses-EL, despite the other man's confession. Click here to see our
interview with Clarence Moses-EL after he was freed.
