'I feel very happy, and very sad that it took 43 years': Two men wrongfully convicted of 1976 murder freed after decades behind bars.
Good, who retired from law last year, said that she “had just started in the public defender’s office” months before she was assigned his case. She told ABC News that because various evidence -– including the ballistics data and witness testimony -– was not presented in the original trial, it was not part of the record and “in the appeal you only get what’s in the record.”
Nathan Myers, left, hugs his uncle, Clifford Williams, during a news conference after their 1976 murder convictions were overturned Thursday, March 28, 2019 in Jacksonville, Fla. Both men have maintained their innocence throughout the process, including on the morning of the shooting. In that letter, he also included a copy of an affidavit from a man who said that another person –- Nathaniel Lawson, now deceased – had confessed to the 1976 murder.
The CIR unit released a 77-page report on the case and their subsequent review, which includes the accounts of dozens of witnesses who were at the party when the shots rang out. "It is the opinion of the CIR that these men would not be convicted by a jury today if represented by competent counsel who presented all of the exculpatory evidence that exists in this case fort the jury's consideration," the report states.
