DIXON, Ill. —
Gary Dotson, convicted of a rape his accuser now says never happened, got his second taste of freedom today as his mother and his attorney posted $10,000 bail for his release from prison.
Dotson, 28, who was granted a week of freedom on bond last month after a New Hampshire housewife testified that she had concocted the rape charge, was granted a new bond Tuesday by the Illinois Supreme Court while he appeals his 1979 rape conviction. (Story, Page 4.)
