This photo provided by the Chatham County Sheriff's Office shows Mark Jones. More than 25 years after being locked away for a killing their lawyers say they didn’t commit, three former soldiers are preparing to go home to spend the holidays with their families. Jones, Kenneth Gardiner and Dominic Lucci were in their early 20s when they were convicted of murder in the Jan. 31, 1992, slaying of Stanley Jackson. Prosecutors said the crime was racially motivated. The three former soldiers are white, and Jackson was black. The Georgia Supreme Court last month ruled that state prosecutors improperly withheld evidence that would have helped their defense, and the men were entitled to a new trial. The three are expected to be released Dec. 20, 2017. (Chatham County Sheriff's Office via AP)
