Anthony Massingill is an American who was convicted in a Dallas, Texas court of a 1979 rape and robbery for which recent DNA test results support his claim of innocence. He was jointly convicted in the case along with Cornelius Dupree who was on January 4, 2011, fully exonerated of the charges.[1] Massingill is being represented by the Texas Wesleyan Innocence Project and is likely to be cleared at a later hearing.
