RICHARD ROSARIO’S CASE IN THE SPOTLIGHT: BRONX MAN JAILED FOR 18 YEARS DESPITE 13 ALIBI WITNESSES

Richard is now serving the 18th year of a 25-to-life sentence for a 1996 Bronx murder which occurred when he was 1,000 miles away in Florida – an alibi confirmed by 13 witnesses. Among them: a sheriff’s deputy, a pastor, and a federal corrections officer. EXI filed a motion to exonerate Richard on March 28, 2014, based on the alibi and other exculpatory evidence which was never brought out at Richard’s 1998 trial. His case is currently on appeal in the Appellate Division First Department. In the meantime, Dateline NBC’s Dan Slepian has been investigating the case.Watch the NBC News piece and read the full story
