Mother cleared of murder after 13 years in jail

A woman who spent 13 years in prison after she was convicted of strangling her 13-year-old daughter has been exonerated by forensic evidence showing the girl died of a cocaine overdose.

Lynn DeJac, now 44, was released from prison in New York state and her second-degree murder conviction for the death of her daughter Crystallynn Girard overturned in November after newly analysed DNA evidence.
