NEW PORT RICHEY -- A Pasco County man was released from death row this week after Florida Supreme Court overturned his murder conviction.

Now the sexual offender is living on Loras Street in New Port Richey, where neighbors were stunned to learn of his arrival. They wondered why they were not notified by the state.
