FORA.tv Speaker - David Pope

David Pope spent fifteen years in the Texas prison system for a rape he didn’t commit. He was convicted with now discredited “voice spectrograph” technology that compared his voice to recorded conversations with the actual rapist. When DNA from his case proved his innocence in the late 1990s, Pope stayed in prison for years, unaware that he’d been cleared. He was finally released in 2001, after Texas Governor Rick Perry signed his pardon.
