For nine years, Davontae Sanford has been
incarcerated for the murder of four people at a Detroit drug house. He
was just 14 in September 2007 when police found him in his pajamas near
the crime scene, and after two days of interrogations, announced that he
had confessed.
But on Wednesday, Sanford is expected to walk
out of prison a free man. Prosecutors acknowledge the now-23-year-old
had known the truth all along: He didn't do it.
"Justice was not done (initially), but justice was done today," state assistant public defender Valerie Newman told NBC affiliate WDIV on Tuesday, when a Wayne County judge ordered Sanford's release.
His family "of course are thrilled," Newman
added. "His mom was screaming and crying and every emotion you can
imagine pouring out of her."
