About
Earl Washington Jr. (born May 3, 1960) is a wrongfully-convicted former Virginia death-row inmate, who was falsely imprisoned for rape and murder of Rebecca Lyn Williams. Washington, with an IQ estimated at 69, confessed to the crime, but apparently only after being coerced by investigators. After a fellow inmate Joseph Giarratano took on his case, citing Washington's mental disability, DNA evidence in 1994 showed that Washington could not have made the seminal stain and raised doubt that he was responsible for the crimes for which he was sentenced. Nine days before his scheduled execution, Virginia's Governor Jim Gilmore commuted his sentence to life in prison. In 2000, after more accurate DNA testing strengthened the case for his innocence, he received a full pardon from Governor Gilmore. Washington was represented by attorneys Robert T. Hall, Eric M. Freedman, Gerald Zerkin and Barry A. Weinstein.
