Prosecutors have dropped a case against Kelley and Ralph Lee, who each spent 24 years behind bars for a New Jersey killing before DNA tests linked a key piece of evidence to another man. Kelley and Lee were freed after their convictions were overturned last year, but until Friday, April 6, 2018, they faced a potential retrial in the 1993 killing of Tito Merino.
