Man Cleared of Rape by DNA Finally Gains Immigration Release
2006-08-23
MIAMI (AP) -- A Cuban-American man cleared of a 1982 rape by DNA evidence finally won release Monday from federal immigration custody after his lawyers reached an agreement with U.S. authorities to end nearly three months of legal limbo. "I will start my life anew," Orlando Boquete said in an interview shortly after walking out alone from the Krome Detention Center outside Miami. "Anything that happens will be good. Nothing bad can happen to me." Boquete, 52, was initially cleared of the Key West rape in May, but he was taken into immigration custody immediately because of other crimes he allegedly committed after escaping from his wrongful imprisonment. Boquete came to the United States from Cuba in 1980 during the massive Mariel boatlift. After leaving the detention center, Boqete told reporters that state and fed officials had misspelled his name as Bosquete for years on official documents.
