Sandra Hemme Released After 43 Years in Prison for Wrongful 1980 Murder Conviction
Jul 20, 2024, 01:58 AM
A 64-year-old woman, Sandra Hemme, who served 43 years in prison for a 1980 murder of a library worker she did not commit, has been released. Missouri’s highest court overruled an effort to keep her incarcerated, even though her conviction was overturned in June after new evidence established her innocence.

Hemme, who had been serving a life sentence, left prison in Chillicothe on Friday.
