Prisoner locked up for 37 years after being wrongly convicted of murder
A pensioner who spent 37 years in prison after being wrongly convicted of murdering a mother and daughter has been released from jail.
Joseph Sledge, 70, was jailed in 1976 for murdering Josephine Davis, 74, and daughter Aileen, 57, in North Carolina US.
However, almost four decades after he was locked up, the pensioner was released after new DNA evidence came to light.
