Kenneth Clair has been exonerated after almost four decades in prison for the murder of nanny Linda Faye Rodgers, thanks to new DNA testing that challenges the circumstantial evidence against him. Convicted in 1986, Clair always maintained his innocence, and a public campaign garnered significant support for his case. The new testing indicated that the DNA found on the victim does not match Clair. The Orange County DA's office supported retesting, leading to evidence that was previously uncontestable being analyzed under modern methodologies.
"The case against Kenneth Clair was based primarily on circumstantial evidence, which has now been scrutinized and determined to be insufficient, especially in light of new DNA findings."
"Advancements in DNA technology have revealed that the evidence collected during the investigation does not match Clair, raising serious doubts about the integrity of the original trial."
