http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/brother...-facebook-postThe brothers, now in their mid 40’s, were convicted of murdering Robert Karey at his home on Detroit’s east side back in 1987.
"I always believed they were innocent," said brother Scott Highers. "I always knew they'd come out...it's just sad it took 25 years."
The Highers were convicted in a non-jury trial. A judge sentenced them to life in prison.
Last Thursday Judge Talon agreed to toss out the convictions and awarded the men a new trial after new witnesses stepped forward.
The case got new life thanks to a Facebook post written by Mary Evans back in 2009.
The witnesses who saw the post did not know the brothers were serving time in connection with the killing and offered new descriptions of the murder suspects.
