Gerardo Cabanillas was wrongfully convicted of kidnapping, robbery and rape in 1995 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Conviction Integrity Unit of the District Attorney's office has been reviewing cases of possible wrongful conviction since 2015 and has exonerated 10 people, including Cabanillas, who was found factually innocent and released after nearly 30 years in prison. His exoneration highlights the need for continued vigilance in the criminal justice system to ensure that innocent people are not wrongfully convicted.
