The Nicaraguan authorities must release Eric Volz from prison.
The American citizen was sentenced to 30 years in jail for the 2006 murder of his ex-girlfriend. But at the time of the murder more than 10 witnesses saw him in Managua, located two hours from the crime scene. There also was no physical evidence linking him to the murder.
This week a Nicaraguan appeals court overturned Volz's conviction but they still haven't released him.
It's time the courts in Nicaragua let Eric go home.
