Louisiana man gets day in court after new evidence uncovered in 1977 attempted rape conviction

A Louisiana man who has been fighting to clear his name for decades is expected to find out Monday whether he'll be granted a new trial — 44 years after he was convicted of attempted aggravated rape of twin 14-year-old sisters.

Vincent Simmons has tried at least 16 times to have a new trial as he maintains he's innocent and that did not receive a fair trial. His court hearing Monday afternoon in Marksville, Louisiana, comes after CBS News uncovered new evidence that could play a role in the case. That includes potentially game-changing information that was never heard by the jury that Vincent has been trying for the last 30 years to get a judge to hear. 

For one, Simmons found a medical examination report where a doctor stated that one of the alleged victims was a virgin, even though she says she was raped. The doctor who examined them also indicated there were no signs of a sexual assault on either of the girls. The exam was conducted two weeks after the girls say they were raped.
