LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man who spent 33 years in prison for attempted murder has been declared innocent. The Los Angeles County district attorney apologized Thursday for Daniel Saldana's wrongful conviction and imprisonment. Saldana, who's 55, said at a news conference that he's grateful to be freed. Saldana was convicted in 1990 of being one of several men who opened fire on a car full of high school students in Baldwin Park, east of Los Angeles. Two teens were wounded. The district attorney's office began investigating after learning in February that another convicted man told a parole board that Saldana was not at the scene.
