An Arizona man jailed 37 years for murder is now walking free under a plea deal spurred by concerns his ex-wife framed him during a bitter divorce.

Bill Macumber, 77, was released for time served Wednesday after pleading no contest to the 1962 murders of two 20-year olds in the desert north of Scottsdale.

“We’re elated,” son Ron Macumber told the Daily News on Thursday. “We took him back to a family member’s house last night and had some pizza and just talked. He’s happy it’s finally over and he’s a free man.”
