Bob Keller, the district attorney in the case of Calvin Johnson, who served more than 15 years in a Georgia prison for a rape he didn't commit, did not prosecute Johnson again. "I applaud the efforts of the Innocence Project," Keller says. "If not for that project, Calvin would still be in jail, which would be an absolute travesty."
