James Beine, the former Roman Catholic priest and elementary-school counselor who had his sexual misconduct convictions overturned by the Missouri Supreme Court, was released from prison Thursday.
Steve Welby, one of Beine’s lawyers, said that after more than 3 years behind bars, Beine “was a very happy man.”
Beine, wearing an orange short-sleeve jumpsuit, was dropped off at Welby’s downtown St. Louis office at 2:30 p.m.
