1993 - On March 8, 1985, Kirk Bloodsworth was convicted of sexual assault, rape, and first-degree premeditated murder of a 9-year-old girl who was found dead in a forested area. A Baltimore County judge sentenced Bloodsworth to death. In 1996, Bloodsworth's lawyer filed an appeal to have forensic testing conducted in his case. The DNA results concluded that Bloodsworth's DNA did not match any of the evidence submitted for testing. Numerous tests followed and supported the fact that Bloodsworth is not responsible for the murder. Prosecutors submitted a joint petition with Bloodsworth's attorneys to grant him a pardon. A Baltimore County Circuit judge ordered Bloodsworth released from prison on June 28, 1993.
Things some people do are wrong. Why do people do the things they do? Was it necessary for Kirk to rape and murder this innocent 9 year old girl? No, it wasnt.
