53-year-old Derrick Fischer received a life sentence in Akron for two 2010 rape counts, with a possibility of parole after 20 years. His case was reopened in 2017 after DNA testing through the Akron Police Department's Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) matched his DNA to the crime. Fischer will need to register as a Tier III sex offender every 90 days for the rest of his life if released.
