Ruling frees Nebraska murder convict amid aging trial questions
In Nebraska a Supreme Court ruling on second-degree murder definitions allows several inmates, including Joseph Moniz, to walk free after appeals or pleas. Moniz, 73, was released in December after serving decades for the 1985 stabbing death of Jump. The case centers on the word malice and the 1979 code change that created distinct second-degree murder standards.
