“Mr. Ciria has been in prison for more than 30 years for a crime he did not commit,” San Francisco Dist. Atty. Chesa Boudin said. “Today we celebrate long overdue justice, but we cannot stop working to undo other wrongful convictions.”
A California man who spent more than three decades behind bars for a murder he did not commit was exonerated of the crime Monday, clearing the way for his release from prison, officials said.
Ciria’s case marked the first exoneration prompted by the District Attorney’s Innocence Commission, which was established by Boudin in 2020 to review potential wrongful conviction cases.
