(WHAS11) - Nearly eight years after the murder of a University of Louisville student, the man sentenced to life in prison for her murder has had his conviction overturned.

Pelegrin-Vidal was sentenced to life in prison back in 2007 for the murder of University of Louisville engineering student, Elaine Fonseca-Rodriguez..
