From today's Associated Press:
"After 17 years behind bars for a murder that a judge says he did not commit, a Missouri inmate, Joshua Kezer, left, walked out of a prison a free man. “This is the kind of stuff you dream about,” said Mr. Kezer, 34, who has been imprisoned since 1992 for the slaying of a 19-year-old nursing student in southeast Missouri.
