sep 4, 1986 - Conviction overturned and Salvatore released

Description:

On September 4, 1986, a federal court judge cleared the way for his release when finding out that three jurors committed "prejudicial errors" during deliberations in the 1982 trial. Two of the jurors admitted using a dictionary definition of the term "malice," rather than a legal definition.
