In September 2020, Robert DuBoise<\/a> walked free after spending almost 37 years in a Florida prison for a 1983 rape and murder he did not commit. He was exonerated after new DNA testing of the crime scene evidence that was thought to have been destroyed excluded him as the assailant. However, under the current state law, Mr. DuBoise is ineligible to receive compensation for the nearly four decades he was stripped of his freedom.<\/p>\n

After his exoneration, Tampa Bay Buccaneers players read about Mr. DuBoise and were moved and outraged by his story of injustice. When these players, who also serve on the team\u2019s Social Justice Initiative Board, learned that Mr. DuBoise is considered ineligible for compensation under Florida\u2019s incredibly restrictive law, they stepped up to help him rebuild his life. This week, NFL360 released a powerful segment<\/a>\u00a0and feature<\/a> highlighting their efforts to team up in support of Mr. DuBoise and shine a light on the broken compensation system in Florida.<\/p>\n
