## Caption

Fifty-two-year-old Michael Robinson spent 26 years in prison for a Queens murder before getting out on parole in March of 2019.

His battle to clear his name has taken a new turn after a judge ordered a hearing to assess the impact of newly discovered DNA evidence that appears to exonerate the former NYC correction officer -- according to a test from the company that has been tasked with identifying the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. 

"The best way to clear my name was to get myself out."

A jury in 1993 convicted Robinson of fatally stabbing his ex-wife Gwendolyn Samuels, who worked as a home-health aide in Bayside for an elderly woman who was the sole eyewitness in the case. She was also stabbed, but survived. There was no physical evidence linking Robinson to the crime scene. He later passed a polygraph test in prison.
