In April, Cook County Judge Sophia Atcherson vacated Rodriquez's conviction, the 21st time a case handled by Guevara had been overturned based on allegations of misconduct by the detective.After Atcherson handed down her decision, Rodriguez told the Sun-Times: "I woke up every day believing that one day the cell door was going to open and they were going to say, 'We made a mistake. You're free.' But it never happened.
