\n A Florida man who served 37 years behind bars walked out of prison one day after prosecutors said DNA evidence exonerated him in a 1983 murder and rape of a woman in Tampa.<\/p>\n

Robert Duboise, 55, was released Thursday from the Hardee Correctional Institution in Bowling Green, where his mother, sister and an attorney greeted him as a free man for the first time in nearly four decades, the Tampa Bay Times reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an overwhelming sense of relief,\u201d Duboise told reporters, adding that he wasn\u2019t angry for being wrongfully convicted in the case that relied on bite-mark evidence and a jailhouse informant. \u201cI don\u2019t have room in my life for bitterness. If you keep hatred and bitterness in your heart, it just steals your joy from everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duboise, who was originally sentenced to death, saw his sentence later reduced to life in prison following an app<\/a>eal. He was convicted in the 1983 murder and rape of Barbara Grams, 19, who was attacked as she walked home from her job at a Tampa mall, the news<\/a>paper reports.<\/p>\n

The Innocence Project picked up Duboise\u2019s case in 2018 and notified the Hillsborough State Attorney\u2019s Conviction Review Unit. Teresa Hall, the attorney who heads the department, told a judge Wednesday old DNA samples from a rape kit did not match Duboise, clearing the way for his Thursday release.<\/p>\n

Without a legal basis for keeping Duboise incarcerated, Judge Christopher Nash ordered he be set free and amended his life sentence to time already served. A Sept. 14 hearing has been set to overturn his conviction, the newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

Duboise learned Wednesday that he would soon be set free, but he had doubts, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201dAfter all these years, you always have to wonder if they\u2019re going to throw another curve in there somewhere,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

Recent tests of the DNA samples from the rape kit in the case did include DNA from two other men, including one who is now a person of interest in the 1983 slaying, Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said.<\/p>\n
