A woman who was a psychiatric patient when she incriminated herself in a 1980 Missouri murder has had her conviction overturned after spending 43 years behind bars.

Sandra Hemme’s lawyers say a now-disgraced police officer was responsible for the killing of 31-year-old library worker Patricia Jeschke.

It is the longest time a woman has been imprisoned for a wrongful conviction in US history.

US side has innocence project to check on potential mistakes of the judicial systems.

Some times suspect is framed other times they police can be sloppy or incompetent.

Good to have strong checks...
Is that any surprise?

America is always a rotten country.
