An Arizona death row inmate who spent 29 years behind bars has been released from prison.
This undated booking photo provided by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry shows Barry Lee Jones, who was released from prison in Arizona on Thursday, June 15, 2023. His convictions and death sentence in the 1994 death of a 4-year-old girl were thrown out in a deal with prosecutors, who said a medical re-examination of the case didn’t support a finding that Jones caused the girl's injury.
A federal judge called for Jones' release in a July 2018 ruling, concluding Jones’ earlier lawyer had failed to adequately investigate whether the girl’s injuries were suffered during the time she was alone with Jones.
