UPDATED OCT 18, 2018

A 60-year-old man, Horace Roberts, who was wrongly imprisoned for murdering his married lover walked free from prison after nearly 20 years, last week. He was exonerated after DNA linked the victim's husband and nephew to the murder.

Roberts was declared innocent earlier this month and walked free from the Avenal State Prison in California, where he was held since 1999, according to the Daily Mail. He had been wrongly accused of strangling and killing his co-worker and lover Terry Cheek and dumping her body by a lake near Interstate 15 in Riverside County in 1998, reports stated.
