Woman freed after 43 years in wrongful murder conviction
Sandra Hemme, 64, was released after a judge overturned her 1981 capital murder conviction in Missouri. The Innocence Project says police pressured a mentally ill Hemme into a false confession connected to Patricia Jeschke’s 1980 strangling in St Joseph.
