He could be free within 90 days after the ruling. Court documents released in the US state he should be "released from custody unless, within 90 days of the date of this decision, the State initiates proceedings to retry him".

"It is the conclusion of the court that this case represents the sort of "extreme malfunction in the state criminal justice system" that federal habeas corpus relief exists to correct", states one document leaked on Twitter.
