PITTSBURGH — A western Pennsylvania man in prison for nearly 25 years in a 1977 double murder walked out of state prison Friday after a federal judge said he was wrongfully convicted because of the “outrageous misconduct” of two prosecutors who are now state judges.
David Munchinski, 59, was released on bond while he awaits a retrial. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Lenihan approved Munchinski’s request to be released on bail to live with his daughter near Tampa, Fla.
“Well, if anybody cares, it’s a good day today,” Munchinski quipped to reporters. “I’m probably gonna get a lobster and shrimp.”
