Murder charges dismissed in 1991 case

Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott were convicted of murder in the 1991 yogurt shop killings of four teenagers.  In 2001, Springsteen was sent to death row after he was convicted of capital murder of one of the teenage girls, and Scott was also convicted in the girl’s death, but sentenced to life in prison.  These convictions were overturned when the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said the men were unfairly denied the chance to cross-examine each other.  Both men were released on bond in June.  New DNA tests could not match them to the crime scene, and the presence of an unknown male was revealed.
