CALIFORNIA INNOCENCE PROJECT CLIENT HORACE ROBERTS RELEASED AFTER 20 YEARS OF WRONGFUL INCARCERATION! "I am so pleased to announce that after spending more than 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, California Innocence Project client Horace Roberts was declared factually innocent today of the murder of his former lover Terry Cheek. It was announced that Cheek’s husband, Googie Harris, and his nephew Joaquin Leal, have been arrested and will be charged with the mu...rder tomorrow. The California Innocence Project took on Roberts’ case in 2003 because there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime. The victim's body was found along Interstate 15 and Roberts’ truck was found nearby. That was used at trial to link him to the crime, but it made no sense that he would leave his fully operable truck along a highway and walk away from the crime scene. In 2007, we conducted DNA testing on crime scene evidence that revealed two unknown male profiles that could not be distinguished and matched to the DNA databank. In 2017, we conducted more sophisticated DNA testing that was not available at the time of trial or in 2007. DNA under Cheek’s left-hand fingernails matched Joaquin Leal, a convicted sex offender. DNA under her right-hand fingernails and on a bloodstain on her pants matched an unknown male. Googie Harris set Roberts up for the murder by leaving Horace's truck near the body along the highway. Harris even testified at Horace's 2011 parole hearing to oppose his release. These are the days we live for at the California Innocence Project. Horace Roberts is free and home with his family and justice is finally being served. Thanks for your support which allows us to continue investigating cases for the truths and righting wrongs where we can!" - Justin Brooks Director, California Innocence Project
