Innocence Project: Hunter Biden’s Pardon and Who the President Could Choose Next
When Charles Turner heard that President Joe Biden had pardoned his son Hunter this week it left him feeling hopeful.
After 36 years in federal prison, Turner was released in May 2020. Now 60, Turner has always maintained his innocence in the crime he and seven co-defendants were convicted of — a 1984 rape and murder in Washington, D.C. There was no physical evidence tying the men to the crime, and the investigation was marred by coerced testimony and the prosecution’s failure to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence, as detailed in a popular podcast series called “The Alley: DC’s 8th and H Case.”
