Another man on death row for 27 years in Alabama claims he is innocent

[n2doc]

Anthony Ray Hinton, who spent 28 years on Alabama’s death row for two murders despite his claims of innocence, walked free earlier this month after prosecutors admitted they couldn’t prove his guilt.

Now another inmate who maintains he was wrongly convicted in a separate killing is challenging his death sentence in a case with eerie similarities to Hinton’s, down to allegations of botched ballistics evidence, a questionable eyewitness identification and the judge and prosecutor who handled both trials.

Donnis George Musgrove, who has been on death row for 27 years but says he is innocent, is asking a federal judge to overturn his case – the first step toward what his lawyers hope will be freedom for a man they contend was wrongly convicted during a trial fraught with unconstitutional errors, cooked-up evidence, prosecutorial misconduct, inept defense work and outright lies.

Experts have proven that a shell casing used during the trial to link Musgrove to the 27 September 1986 killing of Coy Eugene Barron had nothing to do with the crime, the defense claims, and police pressured Barron’s wife to identify Musgrove as the gunman even though she first told police she saw nothing.
