People Who Were Incarcerated For Crimes They Didn’t Commit

Dewey Bozella Was Convicted Of Murdering A 92-Year-Old Woman During A Burglary

Dewey Bozella had it tough growing up. When he was nine years old, he watched his father beat his pregnant mother to death. Two of his brothers were murdered, and a third died of AIDS. He became a boxer but was imprisoned for a few years for attempted robbery. Then in 1972, he was accused of killing an elderly woman. Authorities claimed he was robbing an apartment when Emma Crapser came home and caught him in the act. That’s when he allegedly killed her. Bozella was sentenced for murder and 20 years in prison. He kept proclaiming that he was innocent of the crime.

Then they found out the prosecutors were hiding evidence.
