in prison for the murder of his wife, betsy. soon after, betsy's mother and sisters expressed their relief. >> if somebody were to come to you with evidence, strong evidence that it wasn't russ, but it was some other person, is that something that you could accept? >> i would still feel it's russ, 100%. >> reporter: but to many who saw our story then, it just didn't make sense that russ wound up in a prison cell. >> what's it take to get used to the idea of being in here? >> a lotta prayer. a lotta faith. >> faith that what? >> faith in -- in god. faith in my attorney. >> reporter: that, of course, was joel schwartz, who, though shut down by the judge, just couldn't give up on that pam hupp angle. so while russ sat in prison, schwartz followed the money from

betsy's life insurance payout to pam, the money she'd said was for betsy's daughters. and what do you know -- >> miss hupp had funded a trust in the name of the kids approximately five days prior to the commencement of trial. about ten days after the trial had concluded, the trust was defunded over 99.7% of what had been placed in there. >> wow. she funded the trust so that during the trial it would look like she had given all this money to the kids. >> that's exactly correct. i never doubted that that was her motive in the first place. so nothing surprised me. however, that in and of itself is something that the court of appeals needed to hear about. >> reporter: schwartz had filed an appeal of course, a process that tends to take years, but he also filed an unusual short-cut motion for a hearing to consider and perhaps throw out the guilty verdict based on the new evidence of what pam did with the insurance money. >> we thought the likelihood of success was very small. however, we had what i know to be an innocent man sitting in prison. so i was willing to take any

shot. >> reporter: and this past february, russ got a call from his lawyer. the motion was approved. >> it's incredibly rare, having happened only three times previously in the state of missouri. >> ever? >> ever. >> reporter: and one morning earlier this month, they all assembled for a hearing before a brand new judge. arguments lasted less than an hour. they broke at 11:00. the judge said he'd make a decision by 1:30 p.m. but -- >> at 1:30, no judge. i started to get a little nervous 'cause he'd had plenty of time. and to write "motion granted" doesn't very long. however, if you're going to write a denial, that's gonna go to the court of appeals, it could take quite a while. so at 1:45 i started to get a lot nervous. finally about 2:00, i talked to one of the sheriffs. and i thought, "we're gonna lose this thing." my confidence had faded. i asked what was going on, if he

knew. and the sheriff told me that there was a printer problem. >> a printer problem. >> so at that point my spirits were lifted and i thought, "okay, we still may win this." and the judge came out moments later. >> reporter: and announced the verdict was overturned. russ faria would get a new trial. >> it was very overwhelming. you just felt like you had a huge victory. you know, the only thing we ever wanted was a fair trial. >> reporter: but russ's cousin mary heard the judge say that russ would stay in jail to await that trial unless someone could come up with bond money. >> we were supposed to come up with $50,000 plus property. >> plus property? >> plus property as collateral. >> to guarantee the -- >> correct. >> that's not so easy to do. >> no, not at all. and i didn't know if we could do it. >> reporter: but mary had been fighting for her cousin since the day he was charged and -- >> we got lucky. somebody i know set me up with a bondsman that knew the story, didn't believe an innocent man

should be sitting there. and he worked with me. >> reporter: mary put up her home as collateral. >> i'm that positive in his innocence and that he's not going anywhere. >> reporter: and last week, less than two weeks after the hearing, mary, relatives and friends all piled into a bus provided by a generous supporter and showed up unannounced at the jail where russ, who'd been behind bars for three and a half years had no clue what was about to happen. and then -- >> the look on his face was priceless. it was very emotional. you just -- you almost feel like you can't breathe. >> who'd you see first? >> my mother. that was incredible. and getting to hug and kiss as much as you want. just be with all the people you love at the same time. >> you had a party. >> yeah.

it was pretty fun. gettin' to see people i haven't seen in a long time. i had probably close to 100 people i saw yesterday. >> reporter: russ told us he will never forget the day he was granted a new trial. >> it was one of the best moments of my life. it's like, finally, something good in my favor. you know, after all of this waiting and being patient. finally really see the light at the end of the tunnel at that point. >> yeah, well must've been pretty exciting that day. >> it was. >> reporter: for now, he's living with his mom. he and mary have taken down the green ribbons she used to represent what she always said was a wrongful conviction. >> long time comin'. >> reporter: and he is preparing for his new trial, set to begin november 2nd. >> i want a fair trial the way that it should've been. as painful as it is to hear some of those things in the audio recordings and see some videos and pictures and things like

that, i wanna see all the facts presented as they should've been the first time around. so that people can renew their faith in the justice system. >> reporter: betsy's family chose not to be interviewed again. they issued a statement, though, saying they're extremely sad about going through another trial, but they pray justice will prevail in the final outcome. the prosecutor did not respond to our request for a comment. pam hupp's attorney told us he's not surprised the conviction was overturned but said pam had nothing to do with the murder. and russ faria said he still loves and misses betsy. his new trial, he said, will be as much for her as it is for him. >> i got railroaded, but she never got true justice. and once the truth comes out, it's pretty obvious where all the arrows point. i'm gonna do what i can to see

that she gets justice, one way or another. >> that's all for now. i'm lester holt. thanks for joining us. this sunday -- you say you want a revolution? well, you've got one in the republican party. >> i think i shocked some of you, huh? >> the gop proving they can decapitate their leadership. now can they prove they can lead? plus, the democrats, biden is still deciding, clinton is still waffling, and sanders is still speaking out. >> people will have to contrast my consistency and my willingness to stand up to wall street and corporations, big corporations. >> my interview with the democratic insurgent. and after supporting the president's asian trade deal dozens of times, hillary clinton now opposes it, sort
