A murder charge was dismissed Monday against Jane Dorotik who was convicted and served part of a 25-years-to-life prison sentence for the death of 55-year-old Robert Dorotik, whose body was found Feb. 13, 2000.
VISTA – A murder charge was dismissed Monday against a woman previously convicted of killing her husband more than two decades ago in Valley Center.
She was convicted of his murder in 2001, but was released from prison in 2020, with the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office conceding to a defense motion to set aside the verdict following the discovery of new DNA evidence. Project for the Innocent Legal Director Paula Mitchell, said “LPI enlisted an army of experts to review the forensic evidence, and their reports show that the criminalists who handled and analyzed the evidence in this case were not competent to do that work. Add to that overzealous prosecutors, intent on getting a conviction, and you end up with a case against Jane Dorotik that was nothing more than smoke and mirrors dressed up for the jury as `scientifically reliable’ forensic evidence.
