Brielmann.Yarris, 46, now living in England with his wife and baby daughter, gained his freedom four years ago as the result of DNA tests on genetic material at the crime scene.He filed a $22 million civil rights lawsuit in federal court eight months later alleging, malicious prosecution, intimidation and unlawful incarceration for 22 years on death row since his conviction in July 1982.In a statement on behalf of District Attorney G.
