ORLANDO, Fla., April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Crosley Green embraced his family Monday in what may be his last day as a free man and then surrendered again to the Florida Department of Corrections in Orlando.

He was ordered to return to prison after an appeals court overturned his win and the U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear his case.

Key Points: 
  • "Today is a dark day for justice, but Crosley Green's faith points him to the hope of a better day ahead.
  • Green."
  • Despite being ordered back to prison, Mr. Green remains optimistic that justice will prevail in the end.
  • I am trying to set an example of faith and hope for my family, for my church, and for my town," Mr. Green said.
