DALLAS – A Texas man declared innocent Tuesday after 30 years in prison had at least two chances to make parole and be set free — if only he would admit he was a sex offender.

I can just imagine him humming and thinking about the awesome 70s music while on the way out prison, and then he gets blasted by Justin Bieber's music by a cabbie or the first convenience store he visits.

I would probably go back and falsely confess doing the crime

Lol can't say I'd blame him. Just imagine how different society will be for him.
