Tampa Bay man released from life sentence, set free pending review
Freed from a life sentence for a murder he committed when he was 16, recent court rulings put Kyle Moranâs liberty in jeopardy.

TAMPA â Kyle Moran will not need to return to jail, at least for now.
Weeks after an appeals court decision overturned a judgeâs ruling that set Moran free from a life sentence for murder, prosecutors and defense attorneys have agreed that he has served enough time to qualify for a 25-year review of his sentence.
In a brief court hearing Thursday morning, Hillsborough Circuit Judge Kimberly Fernandez affirmed that Moran can remain free on probation pending that review. The next hearing in the case is set for August.
