Raul Mata is under arrest and accused of killing his step-daughter in Miami in September 2004.
His wife told Action News “I'm aware of his past and there's never been a doubt in my mind about his character and he's 1,000 percent innocent.
He's been a nurse in our community for the past 15 years saving lives in the emergency room.
He's an incredible person and he doesn't deserve this.
The truth will prevail."
