MONTGOMERY, Alabama —\u00a0Anthony Ray Hinton is set to be released from prison a free man after spending more than a quarter century behind bars. Hinton was convicted of two murders related to 1985 fast-food restaurant robberies.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors now say forensic experts can’t determine if crime scene bullets came from a gun found in Hinton’s home, the AP reported.<\/p>\n

Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Laura Petro issued an order Thursday dismissing the case.<\/p>\n

From AL.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Hinton was convicted and sentenced to death for the Feb. 25, 1985 shooting death of John Davidson, an assistant manager at a Southside Mrs. Winner’s, who was forced into the restaurant’s cooler and shot twice in the head. <\/em><\/p>\n

He also was convicted in the July 2, 1985 death of 25-year-old Thomas Vason, an assistant manager at a Captain D’s in Woodlawn, who was forced into a cooler and shot twice in the head.”<\/em><\/p>\n
