'New DNA Results Coming in 1988 Sharon Johnson Murder Case'
https://indepthnh.org/2024/10/30/new-dna-results-coming-in-1988-sharon-johnson-murder-case/'DNA testing is underway on evidence in the 1988 murder of Sharon Johnson, and Jason Carroll hopes the results will make him the first man in New Hampshire to prove that he was wrongly convicted of murder and is in fact innocent as he has claimed throughout the decades he has been imprisoned.
Carroll, 53, claims he was forced into giving a false confession in Sharon Johnson’s murder by police, including his own mother when he was 19. He was convicted of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to 46 years to life in prison.
The New England Innocence Project pushed to reopen the case and has forced the state to produce evidence that had long been considered lost.'
My words: Wow. From the article, it looks like he just might be innocent.
