In 1983, Calvin C. Johnson, Jr. stood in a courtroom and was sentenced to
life in prison for a rape and burglary he said he did not commit.
"With God as my witness, I have been falsely accused," Johnson
told the judge, "I'm an innocent man." After 16 years in
prison, Johnson was exonerated with the help of the Innocence Project and
state-of-the-art science. He was the 61st person in the U.S., and the
first in Georgia, to be proved innocent by DNA testing. Join us to hear
firsthand about Johnson's wrongful conviction and imprisonment, and the
events that led to his exoneration. Book signing to follow.<br><br>
