Who was found guilty of killing 22 villagers and originally given a life sentence but was released after a ruling by federal judge found their trial has been prejudiced by pre-trail publicity?
My Lai Massacre:  Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but served only three and a half years under house arrest. William Calley:  While not technically exonerated, after three and a half years of house arrest, Calley was released after a ruling by federal judge J. Robert Elliott who found that Calley's trial had been prejudiced by pre-trial publicity, denial of subpoenas of certain defense witnesses, refusal of the United States House of Representatives to release testimony taken in executive session of its My Lai investigation, and inadequate notice of the charges.
