NYT article about the following. An Arizona man was convicted of murdering 2 people whose bodies had been found in the desert. His wife, who worked in law enforcement and had access to evidence, claimed he confessed to her he had done it, and he was convicted and sentenced to life without parole - he is currently still in prison.
Lately, evidence proves him innocent and Governor Brewer refused to sign papers releasing him from prison. Speculation is taht she is running for re-election and is afraid this will reflect poorly on her "tough on crime" stance...
