Man Who Spent 20 Years In Prison Freed After Twin Confesses To Murder

CHICAGO- A man who spent 20 years in prison has been freed after his twin brother confessed to the murder.

According to The Post, Kevin Dugar was freed from Cook County Jail on Tuesday after a motion for bond was granted.

Dugar spent the last two decades in prison after he was convicted in the 2003 fatal shooting of a rival gang member.

His twin brother, Karl Smith, came forward in 2016 and confessed that he was responsible for the deadly shooting. In 2018, a judge says his confession wasn’t credible and declined to offer his brother a new trail.

At that time, Smith was already serving a 99-year sentence for a home invasion in which a child was left shot in the head.

As a condition of his release, Dugar will live in a residential transitional facility.
