Still Waters Posted March 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A man has walked free from court after spending 20 years in jail for a crime he did not commit. Marco Contreras was ordered to be released by a judge in Los Angeles after he was declared factually innocent. The 41-year-old, who has spent almost half his life behind bars, celebrated with his family and a "good Mexican meal". He is the second man to walk free from custody in Los Angeles in the last two weeks having been found to have been wrongfully convicted. http://news.sky.com/story/marco-contreras-freed-after-serving-20-years-for-crime-he-did-not-commit-10817968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
