They have been granted new trial in 1987 murder case
Detroit — Janet Hirth has waited more than two decades for her nephews to come home.
Raymond and Thomas Highers, both 46, of Flat Rock, have served 25 years of a life prison term in a 1987 murder that the men maintain they did not commit.
Today, the brothers are expected to learn if they'll be released and reunited with relatives after a Wayne Circuit Court judge last week granted the Highers a new trial.
"We've always believed in their innocence. For a while, we didn't think there was much hope," said Hirth, 57, of Roseville. "They are so happy and can't wait to get home. They feel justice is finally served. It's all about the truth."
