Monika de Montgazon was convicted in 2005 of setting fire to the house in Berlin where she, her partner and her 76-year-old father were living, with the intention of killing the old man for his insurance payout.
But she challenged the conviction from jail – and after 888 days behind bars, she had assembled enough evidence to show the fire had been an accident, started by a cigarette left burning in her father's bed, the Tagesspiegel newspaper said on Thursday.
The now 56-year-old was freed in March 2006 having served nearly two and a half years of a life sentence.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
