BEIJING, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- China's highest court announced Friday it overturned the conviction of a man convicted and executed in 1995 for rape and murder.
The Supreme People's Court ruled that testimony in the trial of Nie Shubin was "unclear, and the evidence insufficient" and reversed the verdict. It apologized to Nie's family, which has campaigned to clear his name, and advised the family on seeking compensation.
