On Thursday, Sandra Hemme plans to have Thanksgiving dinner with her family.
Unremarkable for many, but for Hemme — who spent four decades in a Missouri prison for a murder she did not commit — it’s anything but.
Monday was the deadline for Buchanan County Prosecutor Michelle Davidson to decide whether to retry Hemme after a judge found her innocent of the 1980 murder of Patricia Jeschke in St. Joseph, Missouri.
As of Tuesday morning, no charges had been filed.
Hemme’s legal team filed a motion Tuesday with the court that found her innocent for her “unconditional release,” which is the final step in her long legal process. Hemme spent more time in prison than any other wrongfully convicted woman in the U.S.
“Ms. Hemme and her family are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving together for the first time in forty-four years,” according to the motion.
