Geraldo Cabanillas was promised probation if he confessed to a sexual assault he didn't commit when he was 18 years old. After 28 years in prison, Cabanillas has been freed after DNA evidence proved his innocence, officials announced Monday.
When he took office, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón said up to 30,000 people could be eligible for re-sentencing under his progressive policies.Bjerkhoel said there were obvious problems with the case from the beginning. There was no physical evidence linking Cabanillas to the assault, she said. The victim pointed out Cabanillas from a police six-pack of suspect photos but never identified him in court, through a preliminary hearing and two trials, court records show.
Cabanillas denied all wrongdoing for decades, and his case was finally taken up by the California Innocence Project in 2017, Bjerkhoel said. This year, DNA evidence not only cleared Cabanillas, but also identified another suspect, who was already in prison awaiting trial for murder, Gascón said. Cabanillas declined to speak during Tuesday’s news conference. Attempts to contact Alirez were unsuccessful. The South Gate Police Department said it planned to issue a statement on the case later Tuesday.
