(Undated) — A Pennsylvania man who earned a reprieve from a life sentence only to be held on a long-ago shoplifting charge is back on track to be released.
David Sheppard’s case has become something of a political football in the debate over criminal justice reform.
Governor Tom Wolf approved his clemency, but an outgoing outgoing county prosecutor detained him hours before his release Friday on a decades-old jean theft charge.
Sheppard spent another weekend in state prison before Coleman’s office declined to seek bail at a hearing Monday.
He is now expected to be released to a half-way house by Tuesday.
