Another innocent man released from death row, just as executions are starting up

For the second time in two months, an innocent man is being released from North Carolina's death row. Levon "Bo" Jones (http://www.newsobserver.com/news/crime_safety/story/1057974.html) spent 13 years on death row after being convicted of the 1987 murder of Leamon Grady. Federal judge Terrence Boyle vacated Jones' conviction and death sentence in 2006 after finding that Jones' trial attorneys "utterly failed" to investigate the crime

Duplin County District Attorney Dewey Hudson, who tried Jones in 1993, vowed to retry the case. This week Hudson was forced to admit that he has no evidence against Jones, and is expected to ask the court to release Jones today.
