In this Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016 photo, James Ochoa poses for a photo outside his home in Grand Prairie, Texas. Ochoa, who was on probation for drug possession when he was arrested for a carjacking, pleaded guilty to second-degree armed robbery and spent about a year in prison before DNA linked the carjacking to another man in 2006. Ochoa was cleared and released within days. More than 300 of the more than 1,900 people who have been exonerated in the U.S. since 1989 pleaded guilty, according to an estimate by the National Registry of Exonerations compiled by the University of Michigan Law School.
