BALTIMORE (WJZ) More than a dozen convicted killers are released from prison on a technicality, and dozens more could follow.
Monique Griego explains the Court of Appeals ruling at the center of this controversy.
All of these men were convicted before 1980. And since then, the court has changed the way juries are allowed to decide cases.
Locked up for decades, thirteen convicted murderers in Maryland are now free, after the states highest court overturned their convictions due to improper jury instructions.
