DA seeks to free Harris County inmate after DNA exonerates
Harris County District Attorney Kenneth Magidson says prosecutors will ask 185th District Judge Susan Brown to release Ricardo Rachell on bond while seeking to overturn his 2003 aggravated sexual assault conviction after DNA tests showed he did not commit the crime. Rachell, 51, has served five years of a 40 year sentence for an eight year old boy’s assault in 2002.
