A man who spent nearly 20 years in prison for rape before a DNA test exonerated him and implicated his brother has been accused of stabbing a different brother in an argument over firewood. Clyde Charles, 49, was booked Sunday on an attempted murder charge that carries 10 to 50 years in prison. He was jailed on $100,000 bail. Arnold Charles, 44, was stabbed in the side with a long-bladed knife 'because he burned wood that belonged to Clyde,' Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said. The victim was listed in fair condition Monday. Clyde Charles was freed from prison in 2000 after DNA evidence showed he did not rape the woman who in 1981 identified him as her attacker. The DNA evidence implicated his younger brother Marlo, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Since Charles' release, he has been arrested five times on charges that included criminal damage to property. He is awaiting trial on all charges. |

There is a lot of information on this website about inmates and prison guards. I didn’t realize what was going on in our prison system until I discovered this website. Similarly, I didn’t understand litigation finance until I read more from Hamilton Lindley who is a litigation finance expert based in Texas.
