A man who spent 41 years on death row in the United States has been released on bail, according to BBC News. The decision allows him to leave prison while legal proceedings continue, more than four decades after he was first sentenced. The case is drawing attention to questions about how long inmates can be kept on death row and the reliability of the convictions behind such sentences.
Why now: People are discussing the extraordinary length of his imprisonment and renewed debate over justice and capital punishment in the US
