A California man who served 33 years behind bars for attempted murder has been freed after the state reopened his case and determined he was not involved in the crime, the Los Angeles County<\/a> district attorney announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n said Daniel Saldana, 55, would now be allowed to walk free after he was one of three men charged in a shooting incident<\/a> near a high school in 1990.<\/p>\n

“I know that this won\u2019t bring you back the decades you endured in prison. But I hope our apology brings some small comfort to you as you begin your new life,” Gasc\u00f3n said at a press conference.<\/p>\n

He added: “Not only is this a tragedy to force people into prison for a crime they did not commit, but every time that an injustice of this magnitude takes place, the real people responsible are still out there to commit other crimes.”<\/p>\n

Saldana was arrested in 1990, when he was 22 years old, for allegedly firing a gun at a car containing six teenagers.<\/p>\n

He was convicted of six counts of attempted murder, one count of shooting at an occupied vehicle and was sentenced to 45 years to life in state prison. Two other suspects were charged in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n

Gasc\u00f3n’s office reopened the case in February after learning another convicted attacker told authorities in 2017 that Saldana “was not involved in the shooting in any way, and he was not present during the incident,” the DA said.<\/p>\n

Six years after the testimony was provided, Saldana was declared innocent, Gasc\u00f3n said.<\/p>\n

The delay was attributed to a former deputy district attorney who was present at the parole hearing where the convicted attacker gave the exonerating testimony. The official “apparently did nothing” with the testimony, failing to notify Saldana or his attorney, as required by law, the DA said.<\/p>\n

Saldana appeared with Gasc\u00f3n<\/a> at a press conference Thursday, saying he was grateful to be freed.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a struggle, every day waking up knowing you\u2019re innocent and here I am locked up in a cell, crying for help,” Saldana said.<\/p>\n

He added: “I\u2019m just so happy this day came.”<\/p>\n
