Clemente Aguirre was wrongfully convicted in Florida and sentenced to death on February 28, 2006 after false forensic fingerprint evidence linked him to the murder of a mother and daughter, his neighbors. Twelve years later, new DNA testing and a confession from the actual perpetrator led the Florida Supreme Court to unanimously overturn his conviction. Two years later, the State Attorney dropped the charges and on November 5, 2018, Clemente became the 28th person exonerated from Florida’s death row. He was never compensated for his 14-year ordeal. Today, Clemente volunteers his time with FADP and our partners at Witness to Innocence, sharing his story and fighting to end the death penalty so that others do not have to experience the same injustices that he suffered.
