Matt Stone of The Louisville Courier-Journal is the winner of the Kentucky member photo contribution of the month for October for his picture that shows Edwin Chandler weeping while holding Marguerite Thomas' hand in court in Louisville, Ky., Monday, Oct. 13, 2009 after Chandler learned he was a free man. A judge vacated the manslaughter and robbery charges against him in a 1993 slaying and robbery case. Thomas is the director of the Kentucky Innocence Project. Chandler spent nine years in prison before being paroled.
