Dana Stubblefield's 2020 rape conviction was reversed by an appellate court because of “ racially discriminatory language ” by the prosecution during the trial.

An attorney for the former San Francisco 49ers star said he expects his release from custody within days .

The appellate court's decision was based on language used in the prosecution's closing argument, which began nearly two months after a white police officer killed George Floyd .
