In 1979, in Tustin, California, Dianna Green was brutally beaten and raped in her apartment while pregnant, leaving her in a coma and causing the death of her unborn child. Her husband, Kevin Green, told police the couple had an argument that night so Kevin left to get food and give Dianna some space - but when Dianna regained consciousness weeks later, she accused him of the attack. Despite his insistence that he was innocent, Kevin was convicted in 1979 of attempted murder and assault causing fetal death and sentenced to life in prison.
More than sixteen years later, DNA testing on evidence from the crime scene revealed the real perpetrator was Gerald Parker, a serial killer known as “The Bedroom Basher,” who confessed to attacking Dianna and murdering several other women in Orange County around the same time. Kevin was fully exonerated and released in 1996, while Parker was sentenced to death. Dianna later publicly apologized to Kevin for the mistaken accusation that had cost him nearly two decades of his life.
