Crosley Green and Lawyers Seek Justice as Deadline Looms for 11th Circuit Decision
TITUSVILLE, Fla., April 25, 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. The impact of their decision could re-affirm that prosecutors should not hide evidence directly pointing to a defendant's innocence and therefore impact how prosecutors handle evidence of all crimes in the future. The court will decide whether to grant reconsideration in the coming weeks.
- Green now faces the possibility of having his freedom snatched away and being thrown back in prison for a murder he did not commit.
- Green served nearly 32 years in prison, including 19 years on Florida's death row, while steadfastly maintaining his innocence.
- Lawyers for Green filed a petition to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for a rehearing on April 21.
- Exclusive interviews with Green and his lawyers will be provided before and after the press conference as requested prior to the conference.
