Judge releases N.Y. man from parole

A Long Island judge on Wednesday overturned the conviction of a man who spent 33 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

Bush was released in 2007 but was placed on lifetime parole. CBS New York reported that Bush had to register as a high-risk sex offender, but never felt free. On Wednesday, he was cleared.
