The tide began to shift against Dotson on April 10, the day before the scheduled hearing, when the Chicago Tribune published a front-page story stating that new forensic results cast doubt on Webb's claim that the semen in her underpants was David Bierne's.

Webb had claimed in 1977 to have been raped by Dotson, who was tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
Now, eight years later, she had recanted and after much wrangling — prosecutors are disinclined to free people merely because they are innocent, as DNA now proved Dotson was — he had been freed.
Cathy and Gary recounted their story, haltingly and poorly, and finally Phyllis demanded that they shake hands, which they self-consciously did.
