Missouri Supreme Court Approves Sandra Hemme's Release

The Missouri Supreme Court has paved the way for the release of Sandra Hemme, who spent 43 years in prison after her murder conviction was overturned, with evidence of her 'actual innocence' presented. Despite complications from additional sentences for crimes in prison, the Court upheld her release, making her the longest-held wrongly incarcerated woman in the U.S. Her imminent freedom, under the custody of her family, awaits final details. Hemme's case drew attention due to the totality of evidence supporting her innocence, including her confession under questionable circumstances.
