Man wrongly imprisoned for 33 years freed after scathing review finds prosecutors withheld evidence, delayed justice

  • Daniel Saldana spent 33 years in prison for a crime he did not commit before being declared innocent and freed.
  • Exonerating evidence emerged six years ago but was not shared with Saldana's legal team until this year.
  • The delay in justice was blamed on prosecutors who failed to notify Saldana and his attorney of evidence proving his innocence.
  • Saldana was one of three men charged in a 1990 shooting but another attacker said Saldana was not involved.
  • The district attorney apologized for the "tragedy" of Saldana's wrongful conviction and imprisonment.
