Mary Virginia Jones, a 74-year-old California woman, was freed late Monday after serving 32 years of a life sentence for her role in a 1981 killing. Los Angeles County prosecutors conducted a new investigation and agreed to accept a plea of no contest for involuntary manslaughter. Judge William C. Ryan ruled Monday afternoon that Jones had served well over the 11-year maximum sentence for the lesser crime and ordered her freed. (AP Photo/USC Gould School of Law, Jilien Silsby)
