Judge orders retrial for man who served 26 years

A Cook County judge has ordered a retrial for a man who served 26 years in prison for a murder another inmate confessed to.

Judge James Schreier set bond at $10,000 Friday for 54-year-old Alton Logan.

Logan's family said after the hearing that they took up a collection in the lobby of the Cook County Criminal Courthouse and quickly came up with the needed $1,000. Logan could be freed as soon as Friday evening.

Two attorneys recently revealed that their former client, Andrew Wilson, admitted to committing the crime that Logan was convicted of but that attorney-client privilege kept them from coming forward.

Wilson recently died in prison.
