Man Freed on DNA Tests Dies From Fall Injuries
From Times Wire Reports
A man freed from prison this year after serving nearly 20 years for a murder he didn’t commit died in Middletown, R.I., from injuries he suffered in a fall.
Kenneth Waters, 47, fractured his skull Sept. 6 when he fell from a 15-foot wall while taking a shortcut to his brother’s house after a dinner with his mother.
His sister, Betty Ann Waters, a high school dropout, had put herself through law school so she could help free her brother and finally found DNA evidence that freed him earlier this year.
