Biography
Anthony Massingill is an American who was convicted in a Dallas, Texas court of a 1979 rape and robbery for which recent DNA test results support his claim of innocence. He was jointly convicted in the case along with Cornelius Dupree who was on January 4, 2011 fully exonerated of the charges. Massingill is represented by the Texas Wesleyan Innocence Project and is likely to be cleared at a later hearing.
Yet, unlike Dupree who was paroled in July 2010, Massingill was also charged with and convicted of another rape in 1980 for which he remains incarcerated. Massingill maintains his innocence of the second crime, in which DNA testing is currently underway.
