American freedom granted after DNA review
A court in the U.S. state of Utah announced the bail release of a man, 71 years old, who had been facing the death penalty for decades over a murder that occurred in 1985. This decision came after recent forensic evidence analyzing DNA evidence showed that the evidence does not match him. The man was initially sentenced to death based on confessions and witness testimony, but a retrial was ordered due to misconduct by investigators, and the witnesses recanted their testimony. DNA results indicate that the victim's blood and material from the stabbing knife do not match him, which strengthens the likelihood of his innocence, although the court has not yet issued a final ruling on his conviction.
