At just 18 years old, Robert DuBoise was wrongfully convicted in 1985 for the rape and murder of 19-year-old Barbara Grams in Tampa, Florida. His conviction was based on discredited bite mark analysis and false testimony from a jailhouse informant. Initially sentenced to death, his punishment was later reduced to life imprisonment.
In 2020, after 37 years behind bars, DuBoise was exonerated when DNA evidence—previously thought destroyed—was discovered and tested, implicating two other men in the crime. Following his release, DuBoise filed a lawsuit against the City of Tampa, alleging misconduct by police officers and a forensic odontologist. In February 2024, the Tampa City Council approved a $14 million settlement to compensate for his wrongful conviction .
