The Virginia parole board has granted parole and conditional release to Thomas Haynesworth, who was convicted in 1984 for sexual assaults in Henrico and Richmond but was exonerated by the Virginia Supreme Court in 2009.

Haynesworth, who has been incarcerated for more than 25 years, was exonorated in two attacks based on DNA evidence found at the scene, which implicated a another man named Leon Davis.
