A Jury of His Peers
New York officials have freed Owsind Davis from prison after discovering he'd been convicted on charges that a judge had dismissed before he went to trial. Davis had spent more than four years in prison on two charges of first-degree assault. But a judge had dismissed those charges before trial, a fact that escaped Davis, his attorneys, prosecutors and a different judge who handled the trial. A jury found him not guilty of all other charges against him in the trial, including attempted murder.
