Jeffrey Dewayne Clark: Garr Keith Hardin: Kentucky. Satanic ritual case..."For more than 20 years, two Kentucky men were in prison because a jury said they killed a woman to curry favor with the devil as part of a satanic ritual. But new evidence, including DNA and revelations that could discredit a key witness, prompted a judge to release Jeffrey Dewayne Clark and Garr Keith Hardin from prison last year and order them a new trial. Now Kentucky's highest court is reviewing that decision, considering whether the judge abused his authority by overturning the men's convictions in a case that grabbed national attention amid the satanic abuse scare of the 1980s and 1990s."...Reporter Adam Beam.
