Police quickly arrested Shirley's boyfriend, Joe Stubler, and charged him with murder. The evidence against Stubler was strong. He had been seen arguing with Shirley earlier that day, and he had a history of domestic violence. But Stubler denied any involvement in Christopher's death, and he maintained his innocence throughout the trial.

Despite the lack of physical evidence linking Stubler to the crime, the jury found him guilty of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

For years, Shirley and Christopher's family and friends fought to prove Stubler's innocence. They hired private investigators, and they worked tirelessly to uncover new evidence. Finally, in 2009, a new DNA test proved that Stubler could not have been the killer.

Stubler was released from prison after spending 24 years behind bars. He was exonerated of all charges, and he received a settlement from the state of Nebraska for the wrongful conviction.

The story of Christopher Dansby and Joe Stubler is a harrowing tale of injustice and redemption. It is a reminder that even in the most difficult cases, justice can prevail.

The Evidence Against Joe Stubler

The evidence against Joe Stubler was strong. He had been seen arguing with Shirley earlier that day, and he had a history of domestic violence. But there was also evidence that suggested that Stubler was not guilty of murder.

• There was no physical evidence linking Stubler to the crime. No DNA, fingerprints, or other forensic evidence was found at the scene of the crime.
• Stubler had an alibi for the time of the murder. He said he was at work when Christopher was killed.
• Several witnesses said they saw Stubler and Shirley arguing earlier that day, but they did not see him harm Christopher.

Despite the lack of physical evidence, the jury found Stubler guilty of murder. The jury's decision was based on the testimony of Shirley, who said that Stubler had killed Christopher. Shirley also testified that Stubler had a history of domestic violence.

The Fight for Justice

For years, Shirley and Christopher's family and friends fought to prove Stubler's innocence. They hired private investigators, and they worked tirelessly to uncover new evidence. Finally, in 2009, a new DNA test proved that Stubler could not have been the killer.

The DNA test was conducted on a piece of carpet that was found in Christopher's bedroom. The carpet had blood on it, and the DNA on the carpet matched the DNA of an unknown male. This proved that Stubler could not have been the killer, because his DNA did not match the DNA on the carpet.

The new DNA evidence led to Stubler's exoneration. He was released from prison after spending 24 years behind bars. He received a settlement from the state of Nebraska for the wrongful conviction.

Redemption

Joe Stubler's story is a story of redemption. He was wrongfully convicted of murder, but he never gave up hope. He fought for his innocence, and he eventually won. Stubler's story is an inspiration to everyone who has been wrongfully convicted. It is a reminder that even in the most difficult cases, justice can prevail.

Stubler has dedicated his life to helping others who have been wrongfully convicted. He works with the Innocence Project, a non-profit organization that works to exonerate the innocent. Stubler is also a motivational speaker, and he shares his story to inspire others.

Stubler's story is a powerful reminder that justice can prevail, even in the most difficult cases. It is a story of hope and redemption, and it is an inspiration to everyone who has been wronged.
