A man who was wrongly convicted for a robbery/murder in 1987 is now free on bond.
The district attorney and the defense have agreed Benjamin "Ben" Spencer should get a new trial, and he is out on bond until the Court of Criminal Appeals either affirms their motion or denies it.
Spencer was charged with the 1987 carjacking and murder of a clothing executive, but witnesses lied and important information was withheld by prosecutors in violation of federal law, and his 35-year sentence for murder was overturned.
At his second trial, he was found guilty of aggravated robbery and sentenced to life in prison.
