An Ohio death row inmate was released on house arrest while he awaits a new trial for killing a pregnant teenage mother in 1988 with a railroad spike through her head after his conviction and sentence were vacated when his lawyers said DNA in the case was not his.

David Lee Myers, 60, was released on Monday from the Greene County Courthouse with conditions that he wear a GPS monitor, not leave the state and refrain from drinking alcohol or using drugs as he awaits another trial in the killing of Amanda Jo Maher in 1988.
