Bruce Lisker is an American male who at age 17 was wrongly arrested, tried, and convicted for the March 10, 1983 murder of his mother, Dorka, 66, a crime that occurred in the family's Sherman Oaks residence.〔Glover, Scott and Lait, Matt. ("New Light on a Distant Verdict" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', Los Angeles, 22 May 2005. Retrieved on 11 January 2013.〕 Lisker served more than 26 years of a 16-years-to-life sentence in California prisons, including the California Youth Authority (now California Division of Juvenile Justice; 1986-7), San Quentin State Prison (1987-9), and Mule Creek State Prison (1989-2009). His conviction was overturned in a 2009 ruling by United States district court judge Virginia A. Phillips, in which she found that his 1985 conviction was attained through use of false evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel.〔Lait, Matt and Glover, Scott. ("Man wrongfully convicted in mother's 1983 slaying, jurist says" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', Los Angeles, 4 March 2009. Retrieved on 11 January 2013.〕 On August 13, 2009, Lisker was freed.〔Lait, Matt. ("Bruce Lisker walks out of prison, but not yet entirely free" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', Los Angeles, 13 August 2009. Retrieved on 11 January 2013.〕 After initially declaring that Lisker would be retried for the murder of his mother, on September 21, 2009 the Los Angeles County District Attorney instead dropped all charges, admitting that they were unable to proceed with their prosecution of Lisker due to a lack of evidence.〔Lait, Matt and Glover, Scott.
