I read it as the judge threw out 2000 murder convictions, and I thought, wow, there must have been some really crooked cops and prosecutors, then I read the story and realized it was the year 2000 that this poor man was wrongly convicted by a crooked prosecutor.

Glad he's out and hope to hell he sues the shit out of the county and prosecutor.
