Livingston county circuit judge Ryan Horsman ruled that evidence directly ties the killing of Jeschke to a local police officer who later went to prison for another crime and has since died.
Hemme's prison term marks the longest-known wrongful conviction of a woman in US history, her attorneys with the Innocence Project said.
In a 147-page petition seeking her exoneration, attorneys argued that authorities ignored Hemme's wildly contradictory and factually impossible statements while she was a patient at a psychiatric hospital.
