Court upholds freedom for woman whose conviction was overturned after 43 years behind bars


Missouri’s top prosecutor has lost his latest effort to challenge a judge’s decision to overturn the murder conviction of a woman who spent 43 years behind bars for a killing that her attorneys argue was committed by a discredited police officer

Missouri's top prosecutor failed to challenge a judge's decision to overturn a woman's murder conviction, after 43 years behind bars. The woman, Sandra Hemme, was released in July, as evidence pointed to a discredited police officer, not her. The appellate court criticized the prosecutor's arguments and ordered charges to be refiled. Hemme's wrongful incarceration was deemed the longest for a woman in the U.S. due to withheld evidence implicating the police officer. The prosecutor, Bailey, faced scrutiny for fighting overturned convictions, notably in Christopher Dunn's case.
