If you read the article, it wasn't outside lawyers. He was freed because one of the doctors in the mental facility (who originally declared him incompetent) had a change of opinion and actually tried to verify his claims and realized he was telling the truth.
The innocence project is just trying to clear his name, after he went to live with his sister in Vermont.

I said he needed outside lawyers to rectify the situation. Just because he was freed doesn't mean his life is back in order. I suspect he has an arrest record, criminal conviction and a record of time served to contend with. Not to mention he hasn't worked in 2+ years. I'm sure his credit is toast. What happened to the place he used to live? I don't know if his voting rights have been restored. I would imagine a google search for his name would bring up at least one article on his conviction for employers to be deterred. Imagine what your life would look like if you just vanished from civilization for 2 years. The punishment is a lot more than just the incarceration.
