"Less than 48 hours after his first taste of freedom in two decades, David Ranta suffered a serious heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital, his lawyer said Saturday. Ranta, 58, was freed Thursday after serving 23 years for a murder he did not commit — and Friday night was admitted to a New York hospital in the grip of a crushing heart attack, lawyer Pierre Sussman told the Daily News."
