Alleged 2007 killer wrongfully convicted, DA’s office says
“In Shelby County and around the country, there are wrongful convictions,” District Attorney Steve Mulroy said. “They take place. They don’t take place in most cases, but they aren’t freakishly rare. So I guess I will say I was displeased but not shocked.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
A man convicted in 2010 of a murder three years earlier was not the killer, according to Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy. Instead, another person has been charged and is awaiting extradition from Oklahoma.
