Wrongfully convicted Arizona death row inmate released after 29 years.

TL;DR Summary
Barry Jones, who spent 29 years on death row in Arizona for the murder of his girlfriend's 4-year-old daughter, has been released from prison after a reexamination of evidence did not prove he caused the girl's blunt abdominal injury. Under an agreement, he pleaded to second-degree murder for failing to seek medical care for the girl. Although that charge came with a 25-year sentence, he was given credit for time already served and was consequently released. There have been 11 people exonerated from death row statewide, including Jones.
