A man who spent 14 years on death row walked out of an Idaho courtroom Tuesday a free man for the first time in 21 years. Donald Manuel Paradis, a 52-year-old former member of a motorcycle gang, was scheduled for execution on three occasions. Judge Gary Haman, who sentenced Paradis to death 20 years ago, came out of retirement to accept his plea to a reduced charge of being an accessory to murder. Paradis was then sentenced to 5 years in prison, but given credit for time served. Paradis became the first condemned murderer in Idaho history to be released from prison. Paradis was given the death penalty for the murder of 19-year-old Kimberly Anne Palmer of Spokane, Washington. Paradis has maintained for two decades that he was not involved in the 1980 slaying but only helped his co-defendant move the woman's body to a ravine. |
