Marvin Anderson was arrested at the age of 18, was convicted and sentenced to 210 years old in rape not yet implemented. In December 2001, DNA examination proved his innocence after he was convicted for over 15 years.

In 1982, a cruel abuse of a young black man raped a young white woman in Hanover County, Virginia. During the attack, the assailant reported that the victim had a white girlfriend. Anderson was just suspected because the police knew that he was living with a white woman.

Because Anderson did not have a criminal record, the police used color pictures taken with their employee ID cards and they showed the victim a picture. She picked out his photograph - the only color photograph in the array. After reviewing his pictures, she chose his lineup. The initial explanation of the perpetrators of the victim may be different - he is dark and shaved and there is no scar on his face - or some eyewitnesses not at home crime scene There is. He was accused of a crime

At that time, there was another suspect called John Otis Lincoln. However, when the victim picked Anderson 's picture, the police excluded him. By 1988 Lincoln convicted the crime, but the judge did not accept that he could trust him and refused to release Anderson.

In 1997, Anderson was released on parole, but it must still be registered as a sex offender. Four years later, members of the MAIP Board Paul Enzinna and the Innocence project exempted Anderson and conducted the DNA test of this case. In 2002, he was forgiven by the governor of Virginia and removed his conviction from his record. He worked in prison for more than 15 years because he did not commit a crime and received compensation of 1.2 million dollars.

Marvin Anderson currently operates a truck driver company. He raised his three sons and became lieutenant at the fire department in Hanover (Virginia).

Marvin Anderson was only 17 when he was arrested for being particularly cruel to rape with a young white woman. The victim mistakenly thought of Anderson twice, once in a series of face photographs and once in a lineup. In the case, Anderson 's lawyer did not call a suitable witness. Anderson committed a strong crime at the crime scene, but he was convicted by a white jury when he was sentenced to a 210-year-old in prison at the age of 18. Anderson 's false belief was based mainly on misunderstanding of the victim' s lineup and invalid aid. In prison, Anderson failed several attempts to keep his innocence and clean his name. Anderson was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for the life of parole even if he committed a crime. He continued his efforts to prove his innocence and explored it in 2001 when DNA testing finally proved that he is not a rapist. In 2002, Marvin's wish was satisfied.

In 1982, a young woman in Virginia was raped by a black man. According to the fact that the rapists were black and White's girls were at home at home, the police station elected White's wife, the local black Marvin Anderson. Because Anderson did not have a criminal record, the office became one color. From his employer. The police showed the victim a picture of Marvin and his wife and six black and white photos from which she found Anderson. Within an hour of photography, she chose Marvin from the lineup. And it is the only photo transmitter of the new unit. In the special details of the white wife, the victim was immediately drawn to Anderson, and again in the lineup he saw that he confirmed only what she thought was true. From the outset, the community doubted the bicycle used to carry out the rape incident that a man identified as another man, John Otis Lincoln, owner Lincoln was stolen from a man.
