Joe Jones exoneration and life after wrongful conviction
Topeka native Joe Jones was wrongly convicted of rape in 1985 and exonerated by DNA two decades later. He remains unemployed and addicted to past crimes while his defense team insists the real perpetrator lies unknown, with DNA stored in California potentially confirming or disproving their theory. Local investigators say justice has not yet been served for the victim or for Jones.
