Arizona Woman Who Spent 22 Years on Death Row Sees Charges Dismissed 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
An Arizona woman who spent 22 years on death row has seen the murder
charges against her dismissed. Debra Jean Milke was convicted of
recruiting two male friends to kill her four-year-old son in a case that
rested heavily on a now-discredited detective's claim Milke had
confessed. Milke has been out on bond since her conviction was thrown
out in 2013, and on Monday, a judge ordered her electronic monitoring
anklet removed.
