Missouri court vacates Sandra Hemme murder conviction, blasts attorney general's arguments
www.kcur.org
The Missouri Court of Appeals Tuesday rejected all arguments from state Attorney General Andrew Bailey to return Hemme to prison. Hemme served 43 years in prison — more time than any other wrongly convicted woman in the U.S.

    Bailey has been fighting Hemme’s freedom since she was first ruled innocent this summer. After Horsman overturned her conviction, Bailey vigorously opposed her release from prison. Bailey took his fight all the way to the Missouri Supreme Court. And even after the high court ordered her release, Bailey told the prison warden to ignore the court’s order.

    Wow. A real piece of shit for an AG.

    The amount of malpractice done by the police department and ag combined with the fact they state that it was possibly a discredited/disgraced police officer that actually did the killing makes it look like there was a coverup going on.

    And the fact that people fought to keep her in prison? Disgusting.

    ACAB

      It’s probably why they fought to keep her in prison. They don’t want her talking, opening up lawsuits.

      Even worse, his argument is that teens aborting unwanted zygotes are costing the state money because the state gets less power in congress because the state can’t count unwanted zygotes as population because those aren’t carried to term. That AG is a real piece of shit.
