At around 6am on October 25, 1986, a 25-year-old woman was abducted by a stranger at a bus stop,

assaulted, raped and satanized, then dragged in two different locations where the assault continued.

The assailant stole her wristwatch and broke her tooth front teeth.

Miraculously, the victim survived that a rape kit was performed, however,

in 1986 DNA testing was still in its infancy and serology offered little of provoked value.

The officer who eventually made the arrest approach Clarence Harris and a man who had a previous conviction

as an accessory to a robbery involving a woman at a bus stop.

When asked about the victim whom he knew from the neighborhood, Clarence said that if he heard anything,

then he would forge that information to her family, not the police,

an answer that seemed to annoy the officer.

While fabricating a story about a confidential informant having seen Clarence selling the victim's wristwatch,

that officer included Clarence in a photo lineup.

The assailant was a stranger and the victim knew Clarence, but she said that the assailant looked like Clarence.

After some time in perhaps a great deal of pressure, she eventually identified Clarence and sealed his fate.

With the advent of DNA testing and motions filed to finally uncover the truth,

came reports that the rape could have been destroyed. Along with it seems Clarence's hope for relief.

From a life plus 40-year sentence for a crime, he simply did not commit.

This is wrongful conviction.

The family fights to protect their legacy. They'll learn power as a price.

Welcome back to wrongful conviction. Today's story is the story of Clarence Harrison

sentenced to life in prison plus 40 years. I always wonder about what those extra 40 years are for.
