Man returns to jail for violating parole

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A man who walked away from a life sentence last month when a judge overturned his murder conviction in the death of his infant son was arrested again, this time for a parole violation in Ohio.
Alan Yurko, 34, was awaiting extradition at the Orange County jail. He was charged with violating parole by moving to Florida in 1997 without permission from his Ohio parole officers.
Yurko, of Rocky River, Ohio, had been convicted of four counts of aggravated burglary in December 1989 when he was 19, Ohio corrections officials said. He served eight years in prison and was on parole when he moved to Florida, they said.
"I made a decision and I regret it," Yurko said Thursday from jail.
Yurko was convicted in 1999 of the murder of his son, Alan Ream-Yurko, and sentenced to life in prison. Prosecutors said the 2-month-old boy was shaken to death.
His conviction was overturned Aug. 27, citing problems with the autopsy. Yurko then pleaded no contest to manslaughter and was sentenced to time served.
Yurko's defense team had argued that Alan Ream-Yurko might have died in 1997 as a result of poor health, adverse reactions to vaccines and medical-treatment mistakes.
