There's another photo on the Innocence Project's website of Sandy wearing a Kansas City Chiefs t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She's standing in what looks like a field or a backyard.

That day at 4.15, I got a text from Melissa, Sandy's daughter, with a PDF document of that very order, followed by a text that said, it's done.
A Missouri judge ordered Sandra Hemme's release after her murder conviction was overturned last month.
