Gary Dotson
Gary Dotson (born circa 1957)〔Litke, James. (Gary Dotson trying to adjust to life outside prison ), May 9, 1986 Associated Press report. The Ledger of Lakeland, Florida. Accessed October 23, 2009.〕 is an American man who was the first〔http://www.law.northwestern.edu/legalclinic/wrongfulconvictions/exonerations/il/gary-dotson.html〕 person to be exonerated of a criminal conviction by DNA evidence.〔(The DNA 200 ), May 26, 2007. Accessed October 23, 2009.〕 In May 1979, he was found guilty and sentenced to 25 to 50 years' imprisonment for rape, and another 25 to 50 years for aggravated kidnapping, the terms to be served concurrently. This conviction was upheld by the appellate court in 1981. In 1985, the accusing witness recanted her testimony, which had been the main evidence against Dotson. He was not exonerated or pardoned at that time, but due to popular belief that he was a victim of a false rape accusation, Dotson went through a series of paroles and re-incarcerations until DNA evidence proved his innocence in 1988. Dotson was subsequently cleared of his conviction.
==Personal background==
Gary E. Dotson was a high-school dropout who, at the time of his arrest, was living in Country Club Hills, a modest Chicago suburb, with his mother Barbara and his sisters Debbie, Gail and Laura.〔(Dotson Summary ), Northwestern University School of Law. Accessed October 23, 2009.〕〔(Released prisoner gets big welcome ), Associated Press report, April 5, 1985 ''Spokane Chronicle.'' Accessed October 23, 2009.〕 After conviction in 1979, the next eight years of his life were spent in prison; another four were spent on legal proceedings which led to charges being dropped in 1988 and a full pardon in 2002.
After his first release from prison in 1985, Dotson married Camille Dardanes, a woman who had come to know him during the hearings following his conviction. In March 1986, under difficult financial circumstances, the couple moved in with Dotson's mother. In January, 1987, they had a daughter, Ashley. The early years of their marriage were complicated by poverty, and by Dotson's unemployment and alcoholism. An August 1987 arrest for domestic violence further complicated Dotson's legal situation in the years to come.〔 Near the end of 1987, Camille requested a divorce.〔(Dotson's woes tied to wife's divorce bid ), December 28, 1987. ''Chicago Sun-Times''. Accessed October 23, 2009.〕 She filed the formal paperwork in April 1989.〔(Jailed for a Rape That Never Happened, Gary Dotson Has His Name Cleared at Last ), August 28, 1989.
