Carlton Gary has been on death row for a crime he probably did not commit. I just finished reading "The Big Eddy Club" by David Rose. From the author -- here is an update on a recent judicial decision :
In his judicial opinion, Land simply disregarded the testimony heard in his court in February that the cast from the wound on Janet Cofer’s body does not match Gary’s teeth. He says it is not enough to merit a new trial even when considered along with all the other exculpatory evidence that was hidden from the original 1986 trial. It is “possible” that the jury might have reached a different verdict but not “probable,” and thus, Land asserts, it doesn’t clear the bar set in precedents by the Supreme Court.
