Kentucky Prison Inmate Cleared Of Murder Charge
Earlier this week, Edwin A. Chandler was cleared of a murder and robbery conviction after spending almost seven years in a Kentucky state prison while being innocent of the 1993 slaying of a convenience store clerk. Chandler's attorney, Marguerite Thomas, along with two witnesses, cleared him when it was established that a fingerprint on a beer bottle at the scene of the murder was that of Percy Phillips. Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney David Stengel offered his apologies to Chandler, who called his prison time "a walking nightmare." Stengel says he hopes to help Chandler receive restution from the state.
