Damon Thibodeaux is the 300th person exonerated through DNA testing.

Thibodeaux was sentenced to death for the New Orleans-area murder of his half-cousin Crystal Champagne. He spent 15 years on death row before his exoneration in Sept. 2012.

The Innocence Project co-director Barry Scheck, right, shakes the hand of Thibodeaux.
