Judge dismisses murder case against former Alabama state trooper with prejudice (can't be retried) on the basis of the prosecution's willful/intentional failure to disclose exculpatory evidence:

Also names the prosecutors involved as well as the chief investigator--an unusual move that highlights the court's outrage.
Judge recognized in his decision that the accused has spent 15 years in isolation on death row while the State obstructed. I shudder at the thought. Even if this guy gets a large payout at the end of all this (and he should), it won't come close to compensating him for what he's been through.
