Cory Maye No Longer on Death Row!

Brian Doherty | September 23, 2006

And it's a grand--though not final by any means--victory for Reason contributor Radley Balko, who wrote for us an amazing and infuriating feature story about Cory Maye's unjust sentencing for shooting a police officer who burst into his home in the dead of night unannounced.

See Radley's blog on what happened at Maye's hearing this week. (Upshot: he will at least get a new sentencing trial.)

See Jim Henley explain, in ways Radley did not, why Radley deserves the credit.

And see Radley's detailed Reason feature from our October issue here.

This is truly fabulous news.
