Supreme Court frees prisoner in failure to appeal case
West Virginia Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling, ordered Monteville Johnson released from state prison after finding the state extraordinarily derelict for failing to provide timely appeals. The decision also overruled old real estate damages standards and granted a new trial for the Jarretts over a destroyed water well. An order placed Janet Piccirillo on the May 10 ballot after the court struck down a property ownership requirement as invalid.
