2 men cleared in 1994 killing that sent them to prison for decades. New DNA tests cast doubt
NEW YORK — Two men who went to prison as teenagers for a 1994 killing were exonerated Thursday, after prosecutors said new DNA testing and a fresh look at other evidence made it impossible to stand by the convictions. Brian Boles and Charles Collins served decades behind bars before they were paroled; Collins in 2017 and Boles just last year. They're now free of the cloud of their convictions in the death of James Reid, an octogenarian who was attacked in his Harlem apartment. A judge scrapped the convictions and the underlying charges.

Jodie Burrage rues rolled ankle en route to Wimbledon defeat
By James Reid at Wimbledon Jodie Burrage was left to rue a rolled ankle as her Wimbledon singles run ended in the first round. The 26-year-old has battled injuries over the last year but the wild card returned to Wimbledon in strong form following a series of encouraging results on grass. Advertisement However, the Brit revealed how an innocuous rolled ankle last Friday derailed her plans and ultimately contributed to 6-3 6-1 defeat to American Caty McNally. Burrage was keen to credit her opponent, but was left frustrated with being knocked off course so close to the biggest date in the British tennis calendar. 'It wasn't my best performance at all,' she said. 'Caty played very well. She didn't give me much but I didn't really make her work for it how I wanted to today. 'My level today was shocking compared to how I've been playing the last few weeks. There are probably a few things going into that; wanting to do well this week at Wimbledon because I missed it last year and what happened on Friday. Advertisement 'It shook me a little bit. The prep wasn't ideal coming into the match today. I had to make some adjustments. It's just disappointing that something happens like that at a tournament like this, but we did what we could today. 'Sometimes you just have a bad day at the office, and sometimes your opponent has a very good one. 'I just wanted more from myself. I know the work that I've put in, and I felt like I deserved a better outcome than that. It wasn't ideal the last few days what happened.' Burrage struggled to ever really get going in the contest out on Court 18, which has a reputation for delivering a strong atmosphere. Advertisement The 26-year-old was cheered on by compatriot Sonay Kartal, who booked her place in the second round with victory over Jelena Ostapenko on Monday, as well as a number of friends and family. 'I know that I can just play so much better than that. I know I've got more in me than that,' she added. 'I would say disappointment when you have everyone here watching you. 'I have a lot of family members, friends. It's disappointing when you can't play how you want to play, and you feel like you've let them down a bit. 'They will not say that at all. They'll tell me how proud they are of me and stuff. Advertisement It's probably that that hurts the most. I guess it's not pressure, but that's what comes along with these events.'

Anna Moorhouse ready to step up after Mary Earps' shock exit
By James Reid Anna Moorhouse insists her role hasn't changed after the shock retirement of Mary Earps – but is confident she is ready to step up to the plate if required this summer. Moorhouse received her first call-up to the Lionesses squad last summer has been a regular in Sarina Wiegman's squad since. Advertisement The Orlando Pride keeper is yet to make her international debut, but 30-year-old is confident her experience elsewhere will stand her in good stead should the call come. 'My role doesn't change that much but I probably have to be a little bit more prepared in case something does happen,' she said, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'I was always prepared for that. 'I would love to get that first cap, it is something I have dreamed of for so many years. I will be ready if it comes, if it doesn't, I will still be ready and I will prepare Hannah in the right way. 'I have a lot of experience that comes with age, seeing so many games and being in different countries, different situations.' Advertisement Moorhouse will head to Switzerland fresh from the regular NWSL season where her Orlando Pride side are attempting to defend the title they won last November. 'It makes it easier, especially for a goalkeeper,' she added. 'You don't get 10 minutes here, a couple of minutes there. You have to be ready for a full 90 or nothing. 'It helps that if I am called upon, I will be fresh and in the mentality of playing games, so I have that rhythm. My season should be peaking by the time the competition comes around.' England head to Switzerland this summer (imagecomms) Should Moorhouse take the pitch this summer, it will be just reward for a path less taken to the top. Advertisement The 30-year-old has never represented her country at any age group and spent time in Bordeaux before establishing herself as a top-class No.1 stateside. 'It just shows you don't know how close you are, you don't know when things are going to happen,' she reflected. 'A lot of players have the traditional route through the age groups; I have never played for England. 'It just shows that everyone is on their own path, you can't look at other people and compare yourself to them. If you keep working hard, it could happen. 'This time last year, I didn't even know England were interested. I am just going with it and enjoying the time I have. I know I don't have 10 years of playing ahead of me.' The Lionesses are looking to defend their title this summer (imagecomms) The Lionesses will play their part in huge a summer of sport, with rugby's Red Roses and the England women's cricket side also taking on major tournaments. Advertisement LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs and with all of the Lionesses' matches on free-to-air TV, Moorhouse knows first-hand the importance of making sport available to all. 'Growing up we didn't have all the subscriptions, so any game on BBC or ITV was on – it didn't matter what game it was,' she said. 'Being able to watch on TV makes it so much more accessible.' Members of the two England women's teams caught up with LG at St George's Park recently as part of the leading TV manufacturer's ongoing partnership with The FA and the RFU. The LG All In Pledge encourages people to engage and watch women's sport. Together we can grow support through fandom and audience numbers to inspire new players to pick up the sport themselves, as watching changes everything. For more information, go to

Fran Jones hopes Eastbourne Open run will help Wimbledon chances
By James Reid Fran Jones hopes a deep run at the LTA's Lexus Eastbourne Open can help her build plenty of momentum ahead of Wimbledon. Jones made the perfect start to her preparations with a 6-4 7-5 win over world No.70 Greet Minnen on the south coast to advance to the second round of the WTA 250 event in blustery conditions. Advertisement It was a significant victory for the Oxenhope star, who is now eyeing up a place in the world's top 100 for the first time. A strong run at Eastbourne would likely put her on the cusp and be the ideal build-up to Wimbledon, where she has a main draw wildcard. But Jones insisted she is just focussing on each game as it comes, with either Magda Linette or Dayana Yastremska, both top 50 players, waiting in the next round before a potential clash with compatriot Sonay Kartal in the third round. 'Conditions are challenging here but that is for every player, so I don't overthink it that much,' she said. Advertisement 'I just try and use my virtues to the best of my ability. I am really content to get through it, it's another match on the grass, another win at Tour level. I am just trying to keep my momentum. 'Every match I get through is positive for me, that's all I care about. Everything feels good, I have just got to look after myself with the right recovery.' The hard-fought contest took almost two hours as both players battled the wind on the south coast. Jones was not the only British player who prevailed amidst the winds, as Dan Evans beat Miomir Kecmanovic to progress to the second round of the men's singles. Advertisement Evans fought back from a set down to triumph 3-6 6-4 6-4 and was pleased to land another strong victory following his win over Frances Tiafoe at Queen's last week. 'Considering the conditions, I thought it was a very good level match. The last set was a little difficult because it was getting windier and windier. 'I am just happy to get another win. I am not so interested on how it is, I am just trying to compete because I haven't been playing much at this level in the last couple of years which has been difficult.' In the women's doubles, Kartal teamed up with Jodie Burrage for a winning start as they defeated American duo Hailey Baptiste and Peyton Stearns 6-3 3-6 10-6 while Harriet Dart and Maia Lumsden beat Sabrina Santamaria and Angelica Moratelli 6-3 6-2. Advertisement There was also a win for second seeds Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in the men's doubles, as they eased past Andre Goransson and Sem Verbeek 6-3 6-4.
