After serving 27 years in prison for crimes she did not commit, 74-year-old Joyce Watkins of Nashville was exonerated this month, her convictions in the murder and sexual assault of her 4-year-old grandniece overturned.
“We’re grateful for the judge and we're grateful for the collaboration with the district attorney’s office,” Gichner said, “But [Watkins] lost 27 years of her life. Charlie lost 27 years of his life. His kids and grandkids grew up with people thinking that their father and grandfather was a murderer. There's nothing we can do to fix that. All we can do is acknowledge what happened to them and publicly celebrate their innocence now.
Watkins and Dunn drove her to Nashville Memorial Hospital, where it was determined that the girl had suffered severe vaginal injury and head trauma. She was transferred to Vanderbilt University Hospital and placed on life support, before being pronounced dead the following day.“Then, the medical examiner had this opinion that, ‘Well, these injuries had to have happened based on things that I'm seeing during the autopsy,’ but she was just getting it wrong.
