With no fanfare, Sandra Hemme, the Missouri woman who spent 43 years in prison for a murder she did not commit, is finally free of the legal system. “Sandra Hemme is hereby permanently and unconditionally discharged from custody,” the judge wrote. It means, for the first time since she was 21, Hemme is totally free. Lisa Rodriguez shares the story: https://lnkd.in/gCKQgFxm
