Court Clerk Fired for Helping Wrongfully Accused Man

     Sharon Snyder, a Kansas City, MO court clerk, was fired in June for giving a wrongfully accused man, Robert Nelson, a public document that showed him how to seek a DNA test.  Robert Nelson was able to obtain a DNA test and he was released from prison 30 years after his wrongful rape conviction.  Sharon Snyder gave Robert Nelson's sister a motion seeking DNA evidence from a different case.  The motion was a public document, and Nelson's sister could have obtained it on her own if she had known where to look.  However, five days after giving the motion to Nelson's sister, Sharon Snyder was forced into early retirement.  Sharon Snyder, 70 years old, reported that she "would do it again" if she had to.
