Innocence Project client Dean Cage served nearly 12 years in Illinois prison – and two years in jail awaiting trial – before he was released and exonerated due to DNA evidence that he didn’t commit the 1993 rape for which he was serving a 40-year sentence. The Crime On November 14, 1994, a 15-year-old Chicago girl missed her 6:20 a.m. bus to high school and began walking to the subway. It was dark outside, and the girl noticed an African-American man approaching her. He was wearing a black leather jacket and a distinctive hat with a snap. Seconds later, the man punched her in the eye and dragged her to the back porch of a nearby house. Once there, the man sexually assaulted the girl. He then forced her to rub dirt on her body, and he fled the area. The victim ran to a newspaper vendor and called police. Officers responded and took her to the hospital. Her clothes had been torn in the attack and she was only wearing her winter coat when transported to the hospital. The Investigation The victim was examined at a hospital and a rape kit was collected including her clothing and swabs of her body. No sperm cells were identified in an initial examination of the swabs. The victim gave a visual description of her attacker to police, saying he was an African-American man between 25 and 30 years old, about six feet tall, with a beard. The next day she helped officers create a sketch of the perpetrator. The drawing was circulated in the community, and about a week later police received a tip that a man matching the sketch worked at a local meat market. Police took the victim to the market, where she was asked if the perpetrator was among the employees. She identified Dean Cage as the attacker. Officers then conducted another lineup at the police station, where the victim identified Cage by the sound of his voice. The same detective who ran the investigation of the rape also handled the eyewitness identification procedures. Cage was arrested on November 19, 1994. The Trial For two years after his arrest, Cage awaited trial in a Cook County jail cell. A bench trial before Cook County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bolan started on October 21, 1996. The victim testified that she was 100% sure Dean Cage was the perpetrator, pointing at him in court and saying, “He raped me.” Cage testified that he did not commit this crime and was with his fiancé at the time of the crime. His fiancé also testified that they were together at the time of the crime. The judge convicted Cage and sentenced him to 40 years in prison. Post-Conviction Appeals Cage claimed innocence throughout his 14-year ordeal. He filed several appeals, but for years he was rejected at every turn. In 2005, the Innocence Project accepted his case and began to seek DNA tests on evidence from the crime scene. An evidence search uncovered the rape kit, including swabs collected from the victim at the hospital, and the victim’s clothing. In 2006, the Cook County State Attorney’s Office agreed to conduct DNA testing in the case, and testing revealed that there were skin cells from a male contributor on this evidence. Sensitive Y-STR DNA testing was conducted on the evidence, isolating the profile of the male source. The same male DNA profile was discovered on both the victim’s clothing and the rape kit swab – and this profile did not match Cage, proving his innocence of the rape. He was released on May 27, 2008, after serving nearly 12 years in prison – and two years in jail – for a crime he didn’t commit. He reunited with a large, supportive family in Chicago.

An Exercise for Your Imagination
Imagine you have been following a path for what seems time without measure during a morning of swirling mists and diffused light when you feel the ground give softly under your leading foot. As your momentum carries you forward, wet ribbon-like strands hit your face before rubbing along either side, some few catching under your arms and between the fingers of your hands. Surprised, you stop and try to orient yourself, failing until a moment when the mists separate to reveal tall grasses before you and your path dividing to the left and right. All signs along the way having appeared meaningless, feeling a sense of dread and quite lost, you see off in the distance and on both sides of the divide someone approaching. Each looks at you without a glance at the other, eventually coming so close as to feel their breath, and begins to speak, their words converging in garbled nonsense until you discover that you can listen to one at a time. Listening to the person on the left you hear something resembling mathematical formulae; listening to the person on the right you hear something resembling a narrative tale. Neither by itself seems able to offer you the understanding you seek, but as you listen more closely, you begin to grasp how the narrative explains the formulae and the formulae concern the narrative…
With your head nearly spinning you begin to realize that both roads lead to your destination.
Your Writing Assignment
Write from the perspective of the lost traveler in the imaginative exercise above.
Which way you would go: Left or Right? Explain your choice.
Who do you think the “travelers” are in relation to the Gilligan article: The one on the left; the one on the right; and, the one seeking their way?
Referring directly to the Gilligan selection (using quotations), relate the imaginary scene of the above exercise to her idea of “…Two views of morality which are complementary rather than sequential or opposed” (p. 6 & 7).
