Marvin Mitchell was exonerated in April 1997 after spending seven years and three months in prison for a crime he did not commit. In 1990 he was convicted of abducting and raping an eleven-year-old girl while she waited for the bus. Marvin Mitchell was imprisoned despite the fact that he matched neither the victim identification nor the semen samples obtained from the victim. In 1997 additional testing showed that Mitchell did not match the DNA semen sample taken at the crime scene. Marvin Mitchell was represented by Noah Rosmarin.
