CHICAGO -- (KTVI) -- Attorneys for a retired policeman who says he was wrongfully convicted in the 1957 slaying of a 7-year-old Illinois girl are heading back to court to press for his release.
A prosecutor's review last month concluded the investigation of Jack McCullough was riddled with missteps and evidence shows his alibi was solid, just as the FBI had concluded in 1957.
