HARRISON COUNTY, Texas —
(Editor's note: The video above is from previous coverage of this story.)
Former death row inmate Clinton Young has bonded out of a Harrison County, Texas jail.
The Clinton Young Foundation announced on Aug. 13, 2022, that he had been re-arrested.
According to the foundation's website, prosecutors obtained a second indictment in Harrison County. Young was arrested in Mississippi while working a "court approved job."
At the time of his arrest, the foundation said they would do what they could to get him out as fast as possible.
The website also said it was for the same offense which Young will be facing trial for in Midland County.
However, Laura Nodolf, the District Attorney for Midland County and the one who discovered the discrepancy leading up to the overturn of Young's conviction, told NewsWest 9 after Young bonded out in January 2022, that she had recused her office from the case and passed it over to Dawson County.
Nodolf also told NewsWest 9 that this order was completely separate from her office.
Young was released on bond in January 2022 after his previous conviction and death row sentence were tossed out in September 2021.
At the time of the previous conviction being overturned and Young bonding out of jail, it was unclear whether he would be completely cleared or if he would need to stand trial again.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office listed Young as being in its jail on Aug. 15, 2022, originally on a $5 million bond. That bond was later lowered to $150,000 before it was posted, and he was released on Aug. 30, 2022.
NewsWest 9 will continue to follow this story and update as more information becomes available.
