Robert DuBoise wrong accusation.

At just 18 years old, Robert DuBoise was accused of murdering a young woman in Tampa, Florida, in 1983. The evidence? A supposed bite mark and testimony from a jailhouse informant.

He spent 37 years behind bars, serving a life sentence for a crime he never committed. Decades later, as part of a case review, an old biological sample was re-tested using modern DNA technology. The results were clear: DuBoise was innocent.

The city of Tampa awarded him $14 million in compensation, one of the largest payouts in Florida’s history for a wrongful conviction.

Now free, DuBoise faces the daunting task of rebuilding his life in a world that has changed almost beyond recognition. His story is a powerful reminder of how flawed legal systems can destroy lives — and why truth and justice must never be rushed.
