Man accused in 1989 Baldwin Park shooting proclaimed innocent by D.A. after 33 years in prison
A man who spent 33 years in state prison after he was wrongly convicted of attempted murder related to a 1989 Baldwin Park shooting was proclaimed innocent by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday, May 25, authorities announced.
“It’s a struggle, every day waking up knowing you’re innocent and here I am locked up in a cell, crying for help and not knowing the legal system or having the help,” Saldana said. “I’m just so happy this day came. I’m just grateful to be alive every day and healthy and just living life.” The failure by those officials, including the deputy district attorney who prosecuted the case, to disclose that information to Saldana or his attorneys cost Saldana another six years behind bars, Gascon said.
