German Man Exonerated After 13 Years in Prison for Murder

A man in Germany who served 13 years in prison for the murder of an elderly woman has been acquitted in a retrial after the court determined that the woman's death was an accident. Manfred Genditzki, who had always maintained his innocence, was initially convicted in 2010 and again in 2012. After years of fighting to reopen the case, he was released last August. The court ruled that the woman likely fell into a bathtub and drowned while trying to wash laundry or take a foot bath. Genditzki is now entitled to compensation for his wrongful imprisonment.
