Convicted Rapist Bill Coleman is Starving Himself to Prove His Innocencenew

Coleman began refusing solid food on Sept. 16, 2007, to protest what he claims was his wrongful conviction in 2005 of raping his wife -- he was convicted solely on her testimony, without forensic evidence, and no witnesses were called on his behalf. This September, on the one-year anniversary of his hunger strike, he began refusing liquids as well.
