Jail on a Carribbean Island:
"Mr. Fitzgerald told me they quashed the conviction and there would be no retrial. I just had a sense of relief. I jumped on my stationary bike and did 50 kilometers. I just looked out toward the North Coast and just had a sense of relief that it had finally come to an end."
The murder conviction was thrown out because (1) the trial judge didn't warn the jurors that the jail-house snitch was a known liar and (2) there was very little evidence otherwise. Heck, in Virginia we just call that "harmless error."
