Summary of Case:	"Carl Dausch was wrongly convicted in 2011 of first-degree murder in Florida. Dausch was sentenced to death. The prosecution's case against Dausch was circumstantial. On June 12, 2014 the Florida Supreme Court vacated Carl Dausch's conviction on the basis the prosecution introduced insufficient evidence to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court's 6-1 majority ruling states: "At best, the evidence presented by the State creates a suspicion of guilt. Therefore, because we conclude that there is a lack of competent substantial evidence to support Dausch’s convictions, we reverse and vacate both of Dausch’s convictions and sentences. We remand this case to the trial court with instructions that a judgment of acquittal be entered." (Dausch v. Florida, No. SC12-1161 (Fla. Sup. Ct., 6-12-2014)) Dausch wasn't released because he was serving a 60 year sentence for an unrelated crime."
