Angel Gonzalez was exonerated in 2015 after serving over 20 years in prison for a rape that he did not commit. In 1994, Mr. Gonzalez was misidentified by a rape victim as her assailant. After he was arrested, he was then misled by police into signing a false confession. Although Mr. Gonzalez maintained his innocence from the beginning, it wasn’t until 2013 that he was finally able to prove his innocence through DNA testing. Mr. Gonzalez joined the Exoneree Advisory Council in 2019.
