Denver man spent 28 years in jail over rape ‘dream’

A man imprisoned for 28 years after a woman said she dreamed that he raped her could be freed soon after a Denver judge overturned his conviction, saying he would likely be acquitted at a new trial because someone else confessed to the crime.

Clarence Moses-El was convicted in 1988 and sentenced to 48 years in prison for raping and assaulting a woman when she returned home from a night of drinking.

When police initially asked who attacked her, she named the man who later confessed.
