When all the new evidence was presented at re-trial, the jury acquitted Eric Clemmons in 3 hours. He was sentenced to death for a 1985 murder which occurred in a Missouri prison. After losing all his appeals in state court and his initial appeal in federal court, Clemmons had called his mother to make his funeral plans. But new attorneys convinced a federal appeals court to reverse themselves and grant a new trial, partly because of issues and evidence that Clemmons had filed himself. Clemmons remains incarcerated on other charges, which he is also challenging.
