Saldana’s attorney, Mike Romano, told The Washington Post on Friday that his client is doing remarkably given the circumstances of his wrongful conviction.

“We spent a lot of time talking about how it was amazing and glorious and fantastic, but also how heartbreaking it all is,” Romano said. “But he focuses on the positive of everything in a remarkable way. It’s what’s helped him survive a lifetime behind bars.”

Two weeks later, Saldana was a free man.

Romano, who is also the chair of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) committee on revising the penal code, said that while it was “disappointing” that the information at Vidal’s parole hearing was not available sooner, he was thankful the evidence finally came to light to exonerate his client.

“The district attorney’s office immediately reinvestigated Danny’s case and proceeded to do a turnaround that is unprecedented,” Romano told The Post.
