STORY: "Clayton Allison to be released as he awaits second trial in daughter's death," by reporter Angela Krenzien, published by KTVA (The Voice of Alaska) on September 4, 2019. The man accused of killing his 15-month-old daughter more than 10 years ago is being released from custody on his own recognizance, meaning he won’t have to pay any bail before he’s released to await trial — something his family has been hoping for. In 2015, a jury found Wasilla father Clayton Allison guilty in the death of his toddler, Jocelynn Allison, who suffered a fatal injury while in his care on Sept. 24, 2008. Clayton is now 36 and has been serving a 30-year sentence for the second-degree murder conviction.   In July, the Alaska Court of Appeals reversed the conviction, agreeing with Clayton's argument that the trial court judge was wrong for not allowing him to present potentially exculpatory evidence. After Jocelynn's death, her mother, Christiane Allison, was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome — a hereditary tissue disorder that might have explained the severity of her daughter's injuries.     In late August, state prosecutors announced they intended to retry Clayton for murder.

"I actually look forward to a chance to prove my innocence in a second trial," Clayton said after hearing the news.   Christiane says she’s never doubted her husband’s innocence and the couple is blessed to have each other and a strong marriage that has withstood more difficulty than most."
