FILE - This June 26, 1998 file photo provided by the Norfolk Police Department via the Virginian-Pilot, shows Eric C. Wilson, one of the "Norfolk Four", who was convicted of the rape of Michelle Moore-Bosko. On Tuesday, March 21, 2017, Gov. Terry McAuliffe pardoned the four former sailors. A spokesman for McAuliffe told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the governor has granted absolute pardons for the men. DNA evidence linked another man, Omar Ballard, to the crimes. He said he was solely responsible and is serving a life sentence. (AP Photo/Norfolk Police Department/The Viginian Pilot via AP, File)
