Nicholas Yarris served 22 or 23 years in PA. He was released when DNA evidence proved that he could not have done it.
He now lives in London, has a family and is writing a book. I saw him on Larry King or something like that a year or two ago.
Really facinating story.

"Oct. 14, 2005 12:00 AM
KINGMAN - An Arizona man who spent nearly 16 years on Arizona's death row is now a free man.
Clarence David Hill, 57, had his first-degree murder conviction and death sentence overturned.
Faced with a prospect of a new trial, the Fort Mohave man accepted an agreement that allowed him to plead guilty to second-degree murder and be sentenced to time already served.
Hill's defense attorney Rick Williams, said his client still maintains his innocence in the 1989 death of his landlord. Williams said Hill is terminally ill."
