has sentence overturned - 22 years later!
'A woman has spent 22 years on death row because a perfectly honest cop swore to a jury that the man who killed her child also implicated her in the killing. Except he wasn't perfectly honest, and the prosecutor knew it, and told nobody'
-
"The judge and jury believed Saldate (cop)," said Kozinski of the verdict and sentence. "But they didn't know about Saldate's long history of lying under oath and other misconduct."
