Convictions of four men thrown out in 1994 prostitute murder

Terrill Swift had no elaborate plans for celebrating after a Cook County judge overturned his and three others� convictions for a 1994 murder and rape they say they didn�t commit.

But he did plan to celebrate in his own way.

�I may just take walk, something real simple,� the 34-year-old criminal justice student from Woodridge said following Wednesday�s hearing.

Swift, who was released from prison in 2010 after serving 15 years for the strangulation, realizes he�s not out of the woods yet since Criminal Court Presiding Judge Paul Biebel Jr. ordered a new trial for him and the others.
