A California man is walking free after THIRTY-EIGHT years in prison!

And it was DNA evidence that exonerated him!

Maurice Hastings had been serving a life sentence for a 1983 murder, but had always maintained he was innocent.

Shockingly, despite the fact there was DNA evidence collected, the district attorney's office had REFUSED Hastings' request to have it tested back in 2000!

But with the help of the Los Angeles Innocence Project, the DNA was finally tested last year, and came up NOT a match for Hastings.

And when the DNA profile was entered into the state's database, it was matched with someone who'd committed a nearly-identical murder!

Should prosecutors even be ALLOWED to refuse to run DNA tests that might prove someone's innocence?
