Death row inmate released after 29 years as new evidence casts doubt

Barry Lee Jones, an Arizona death row inmate, was released from prison on Thursday after spending 29 years behind bars for murder, child abuse, and sexual assault convictions in the death of his girlfriend's daughter.
Jones' convictions and death sentence were thrown out after a medical re-examination of the case didn't support a finding that Jones caused the girl's injury.
Jones pleaded guilty to a lesser murder charge and was sentenced to 25 years in prison with credit for time served.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office agreed that Jones' first-degree murder conviction should be thrown out but said the evidence still supported a second-degree murder conviction.
Jones' release means that Arizona now has 110 people on its death row.
