Common card · No. 313579

Robert Earl DuBoise (born October 1964) is an American who was wrongfully convicted in 1983 for the rape and murder of 19-year-old Barbara Grams in Tampa, Florida. He spent nearly 37 years in prison, including three years on death row, before being exonerated in August 2020 through DNA evidence facilitated by the Innocence Project and the Hillsborough County Conviction Review Unit. In 2024, DuBoise received a $14 million settlement from the City of Tampa, one of the largest such settlements in Florida, for his wrongful imprisonment. His case has drawn significant attention for exposing flaws in forensic science, particularly bite mark evidence, and contributing to discussions on justice reform.
