25 years spent in jail for murder, inmate set free on DNA test that district attorney fought.

25 years gone thanks to corrupt DA's. :grr:
If this guy had been black he'd have been murdered by the state of Texas.

After serving nearly 25 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Michael Morton was freed this afternoon in Texas, exonerated by DNA evidence that connected another man to his wife's bludgeoning.

The former grocery store employee, who is now 57, was released Tuesday afternoon when he appeared before the 26th Judicial Court of Williamston County Texas.
