83-year-old Ohio man acquitted after 45 year life sentence for wife's murder
Fox News
An 83-year-old Ohio man was acquitted after spending more than four decades in prison for allegedly murdering his wife in 1974. Throughout the 45 years, Isiah Andrews was committed in maintaining his innocence.
In 2020, Isiah Andrews was granted a new trial and released on bail after prosecutors failed to inform that jury that they interview another suspect in 1975. Cleveland.com reports that that suspect, who died in 2011, had an alibi for the timeline of Regina Andrew's murder. The interview was never reviewed.
"They let the murderer go because they messed up on the time of death," defense attorney Marcus Sidoti told jurors.
