Clarence Elkins-Wrongfully Convicted
After reading the article about the wrongful conviction of Eddie Joe Lloyd it led me to research other people who have been wrongfully convicted. This is an article about Clarence Elkins who was wrongfully convicted of raping and murdering his mother-in-law and raping his niece. He ended up serving six years in prison. It all began one night when his niece slept over at her grandmother's house. An intruder came into the house; rapped and murdered her grandmother, and raping the young girl (Elkins' Niece). The niece claimed that she knew the intruder was her Uncle Clarence. After testifying in court Clarence was convicted and sentenced for the rape and murder of his mother-in-law and the rape of his niece. Go a head and read about the conviction, trial details, the young nieces place in the courts decision, and how Clarence Elkins was freed an the real killer was found
