WNBA's Moore Helps Free Prisoner

Jonathan Irons was freed from a Missouri prison Wednesday after a prosecutor decided against retrying the 40-year-old, whose release was helped by WNBA star Maya Moore, who, with others, argued he was falsely convicted of burglary and assault.

Moore was on hand when Irons walked out of prison. He was serving a 50-year sentence for a non-fatal shooting when he was 16. A judge threw out his conviction in March, citing problems with the case. Moore and Irons became friends after meeting through prison ministry, and she put her career on hold last season to help him get released.
