From Yahoo News:
A Canadian man jailed for murder at the age of 14 was acquitted Tuesday of raping and killing a female school classmate -- 48 years after the horrific crime.
The five-judge Ontario court of appeal ruled that the 1959 conviction of Steven Truscott, now aged 62, was "a miscarriage of justice, and must be quashed."
"It's a dream come true," an emotional Truscott told a press conference, as his wife and three children sobbed for joy beside him.
