Crosley Green has had two years of family, church and life outside of prison walls. He spent decades in prison before a judge threw out the verdict of an all-White jury, saying the prosecutor withheld information and violated Green’s constitutional rights.
Green, who said he has clung to his faith and remained optimistic despite the looming possibility of returning to prison, called the situation “the way it is.”“It can’t make me feel down or out or stuff like that, because I came too far,” he said in a video shared by his attorneys. “I saw a lot, and I did a lot. There’s a lot more I’d like to do, but you know, in reality one day I’m going to get to do it. Right now I’m going to abide by the rules, abide by what was set forth.
The judge ordered the state to retry Green or release him. But Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody appealed, and Green remained behind bars until 2021, when Dalton released him amid the The crime that sent Green to prison happened in the early hours of April 4, 1989. A 19-year-old woman named Kim Hallock told police she and Flynn were sitting in his pickup in a wooded area smoking marijuana and talking about their relationship when a Black man approached the truck wielding a gun. She said the man got into the truck and drove them to an orange grove, where Flynn used his own gun to shoot at the man.
Green had served 28 years when Dalton ruled that then-prosecutor Chris White had not turned over handwritten notes that might have changed the outcome of the case — a violation of Green’s constitutional rights. The notes, in which White documented a conversation with two on-scene investigators, said that they “suspect the girl did it” and that “she changed her story a couple times.”
