Andre Davis: Back to Orange.<\/p><\/div>\n

A Chicago man who served 32 years in prison before DNA evidence\u00a0overturned his conviction in the 1980 rape and murder of a 3-year-old girl\u00a0faces a new murder charge. \u00a0Andre Davis was charged Thursday in the 2013 death of Jamal Harmon. The\u00a053-year-old Davis is jailed without bond. \u00a0Davis was released from prison in 2012 after being declared innocent in the\u00a0death of Brianna Stickle of Rantoul (Illinois). \u00a0Prosecutors say the 19-year-old Harmon got into a dispute with Davis’ nephew\u00a0over money lost in a dice game. Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Mack said\u00a0the nephew shot and wounded Harmon, and that Davis later cut the man’s\u00a0throat and dumped his body in an alley.\u00a0In addition to the 1980 case, Davis has faced attempted murder, aggravated\u00a0battery and weapons charges.<\/p>\n
