DNA exoneration shifts blame in 1985 Topeka rape case

In Topeka, DNA testing identified Russell as the rape suspect in 1985 crimes previously linked to Joe Jones, who was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for nearly seven years. The 1985 cases included a kidnapping and rape with a knife, while authorities weigh whether Russell can be prosecuted due to statute limits and tolling rules.
