- Robert Lee Stinson is an innocent Wisconsin man that was charged with the rape and murder of a 63-year-old woman, Ione Cychosz. Cychosz’ body was discovered in a vacant lot close to Stinson's backyard. Bite marks that were left on the body were analyzed by Dr. Lowell T. Johnson, a forensic dentist, who advised that the bites were left by someone missing their front tooth. Due to Richard Lee Stinson's proximity and Dr. Johnson's testimony, which was later analyzed by Dr. Raymond Rawson (both members of the American Board of Forensic Odontology), he was sentenced to life in prison. In 2005, the Wisconsin Innocence Project took up Stinson's case and alleged that the forensic evidence was faulty, and DNA evidence was reassessed that ruled out Stinson's involvement. Finally, on July 27, 2009, Robert Lee Stinson was exonerated of Ione Cychosz's murder after serving over 20 years in prison. Later the same year, he began a lawsuit against James Gauger, the lead investigator on the case, Dr. Lowell T. John and Dr. Raymond Rawson. Robert Lee Stinson's case is one of many that led to the continued push to discredit forensic evidence deemed admissible and relevant at the time of trial. Stinson's lawsuit is still in the court of appeals after a federal lawsuit was dismissed in 2015. In April 2012, Moses Price, Jr. was charged and sentenced with the murder of Ione Cychosz after DNA evidence linked him to the crime. Price was in prison serving a 35-year sentence for homicide when the DNA evidence was found and received another 19 years incarceration. (en)
