C. Correctly describes the flow of events. He was absolved of whatever crime he committed and he was set free

The and conjunction is usually used to describe events that have no connection with one another

Does it makes sense? I feel the sentence to be incomplete, lacking a conjunction.
Being and having been is not parallel!

By the way, the thank was out of mistake!
Obviously didnt meant to thank you :D

E is also incorrect because of the timeline of events, "being freed" to "having been exonerated" is awkward. You have to be exonerated first, then freedom.

That may be true in and may "sound correct", but why choose E when C is more concise and nothing is wrong with it. On the GMAT, answers are consistently narrowed to 2-3 selections that seem correct, it's the small things such as wordiness or inconsistent timeline that set the wrong apart from the right.
