53-Year-Old Man Freed After 33 Years In Prison For Wrongful Rape Conviction Arrested For Attempted Murder A Month After Release

According to multiple reports, 57-year-old Edward Clayton who was exonerated for wrongfully being convicted of raping a 4-year-old girl, is now accused of attempted murder.

Florida police say Taylor shot a man following a dispute just nearly a month after being released from prison. Taylor’s mom says she was devastated by the news.

“Oh my God. I am so numb, I am just numb,” she told the Florida Times Union.

“I don’t know what to say. I fought so long to get him home, something he did not do and he came out and spent this time with obviously the wrong people.”

Taylor spent 33 years in prison for the crime he didn’t commit.

However, with the shooting, it was caught on camera and police found bullet holes in his car when questioning him about the incident.

Taylor reportedly just walked up to a man and shot him in the chest. He is being held on $1.1 million bond.
