Original: Ex-deathrow inmate freed in plea deal after 25 years
A former death row inmate has been released after spending 25 years in prison, following a plea agreement that ended his case. The deal allowed him to walk free rather than face continued prosecution or a new trial. Details about the inmate's name, the original conviction, and the circumstances of the plea have not been widely reported, and reaction to the release is still emerging.
Why now: The release of someone who spent 25 years on death row raises questions about the original conviction and the justice system.
