Former NFL player Dana Stubblefield has been released after a California appeals court vacated his 2020 rape conviction, citing prosecutorial racial bias. Stubblefield was initially sentenced to 15 years to life but remained incarcerated while a lower court debated its authority to grant bail. After intervention from the state's attorney general, his release was finally granted by Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Hector Ramon. Despite his release, the prosecution plans to re-file charges, highlighting ongoing concerns about the case and the implications for victims and community safety.
