On June 30th 2017, DeMarlo Berry was ordered released by a Las Vegas court. As a result of manufactured testimony at his trial, he had spent over 22 years in prison for a murder he was not guilty of that occurred in 1994 during the robbery of a Carl's Jr.

This is audio from a appeals hearing that was held in 2015 before the Nevada Supreme Court. Serious official misconduct by prosecutors and the police was detailed by Berry's lawyers during this hearing and it was also revealed that the real killer, Steven Jackson, had made an unsolicited confession that included details only the killer would know back in 2013. In spite of that, it still took two more years before he was finally released from prison.

At approx. the 6:30 point of the audio Berry's lawyer discusses some of the prosecutorial misconduct by the Clark County District Attorneys and witness tampering by the police.

Among other things, detectives with the LVMPD coached a jailhouse witness to bolster his testimony that Berry had confessed to the crime. Richard Iden later admitted that testimony was false and had been prompted by the favors he received from prosecutors, including a favorable plea bargain to felonies he was facing, a free flight home to Ohio, and a hotel room during the trial, along with free food and cash "per diem" payments.

Nothing has been mentioned about holding those DA's and police accountable for their part in framing an innocent man and causing him to be falsely imprisoned for 22+ years.
