Broke On: Saturday, 15 June 2024A Missouri woman, Sandra Hemme, who spent 43 years in prison for a murder conviction linked to a local police officer named Michael Holman, was ruled innocent by Judge Ryan Horsman on June 15, 2024. Evidence implicating Holman included his truck near the crime scene and Jeschke's earrings found in his apartment.
