After
26 years — and a 10-minute hearing Monday in Meade Circuit Court — a
judge dismissed the murder case against Garr Keith Hardin and Jeffrey
Dewayne Clark, who were convicted in 1995 in a case falsely linked
to satanic worship.
Both hugged their families and
friends. Hardin's lawyers held his hand above his head like a
heavyweight champion celebrating after a long bout.
"I
hope I have done what's right," said Judge Bruce Butler, who granted
the men a new trial in 2016 and freed them from jail after finding no
credible evidence remained again them.
"I know that I've done what the law requires," the judge said.
After 26 years, men accused in Satanic murder case are free
