Court reveres ruling that freed Ohio police captain convicted of ex-wife's 1997 murder
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An appeals court in Ohio says a judge was wrong to release a former police captain who had spent nearly 15 years in prison in his ex-wife's killing.
The ruling released Wednesday comes a little more than a year after Douglas Prade was freed from prison based on new testing of a bite mark.
A judge in Akron ruled in January 2013 that new DNA test results proved Prade didn't kill his former wife.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The appeals court says the DNA testing only raised more questions than answers and that Prade's original conviction was based on a great deal of evidence.
Prade was convicted in 1998 of shooting his ex-wife to death where she worked as a doctor.
There were no witnesses and no fingerprints, and no gun was found.
