TITUSVILLE, Fla., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, Crosley Green and his Crowell & Moring pro bono legal team will outline their plans to keep Green free as they ask the full 11-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a recent three-judge panel decision that holds Green's freedom in the balance.
