It was 1975 when Tulane University student Jennifer Brush as raped by two men in her apartment.

Now after nearly half a century, new DNA evidence has identified a suspect.

67-year old Ronald Craig, now confined to a wheel chair, declares his innocence--he faces life in prison if found guilty.

A forensic scientist says the possibility of there being some other than Craig is one-in-63 billion.

Brush tells the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate “I want the person who stole my life to be responsible for what he did."

Craig's public defender says the case is based on nothing more than 'pretty sure'.
