Accused molester granted release after 12 years
Grant Snowden, once a Florida convict with three life terms, was freed after the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned his conviction.

Snowden, 51, previously a policeman of the year, walked from a federal courthouse with offers to work on a potato farm.
