LOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 24, 2014: Mary Virginia Jones uses a magnifier to read her no contest plea to voluntary manslaughter in Los Angeles Superior Court on March 24, 2014 as she is represented by law students at USC's Post- Conviction Justice Project. The 74-year-old woman is expected to be released from prison after serving 32 years for a murder allegedly committed by her abuser in 1981. The District Attorney's Office conducted an independent investigation and agreed to set aside her convictions in exchange for the no contest plea. (Al Seib / Los Angeles Times)
