Eighteen people have been cleared by DNA in Dallas County after serving years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit, but the story doesn’t end at exoneration. They are released into a changed world, and it is a challenge to rebuild a life after so long.

Read the story and watch the video. (CNN.com, 05/19/08)
