US Courts Halt Deportation of Man Wrongfully Imprisoned for 43 Years
TL;DR
A Pennsylvania man, Subramanyam Vedam, who spent 43 years in prison before his murder conviction was overturned, has had his deportation stayed by courts while his immigration case is reviewed. Despite a no contest plea related to a drug charge from his youth, his family and lawyers argue his wrongful imprisonment and long-term residence in the U.S. should prevent his deportation, though immigration authorities maintain the drug conviction still stands.
