Prison Inmate Indicted For Rape
WEST VIRGINIA....
During a Friday morning press conference, prosecutors and West Virginia State Police announced that a Cabell County Grand Jury has indicted Donald Good of Charleston for the 1987 abduction and rape of two women from the Huntington Mall parking lot, which occurred in separate incidents. Good is currently an inmate at Mount Olive State Prison after being convicted on a murder charge. In July 1987, Glen Dale Woodall, a Huntington cemetery worker, was found guilty of sexual assault, sexual abuse, kidnapping and aggravated robbery. He was sentenced to two life terms without parole plus an additional 203 to 335 years in prison. Woodall was cleared of all charges after spending five years in prison due to the false testimony of West Virginia State Police chemist Fred Zain who testified that hair and body fluids taken from the victims matched Woodall’s. In May 1992, DNA evidence overturned the conviction. Woodall was awarded $l million from West Virginia for his wrongful conviction and false imprisonment. Good is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges next Friday in Cabell County Circuit Court.
