A man is to be released from a Michigan prison after another man told investigators he fired shots that wounded a woman during a dispute between two Detroit families.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says Monday that she has agreed with the Michigan Innocence Clinic to have Marwin McHenry's assault with intent to murder, felonious assault and gun convictions dropped.
A jury convicted McHenry in 2013 and he was ordered to serve up to 27 years in prison. A judge dismissed the charges Monday.
Worthy's office started its own investigation as McHenry appealed the conviction. A statement later was taken from another man who said he fired a weapon during the 2012 dispute.
Worthy says her office will continue investigating the other man's "possible involvement" in the shooting.
