Adam Gray had just turned 14 when he was arrested and accused of starting a fatal blaze at a home in Chicago’sHe spent 24 years behind bars for murder and arson until his conviction was vacated and he was released in 2017.
The jury agreed Crescenzo and Pochordo had coerced Gray’s confession, and that Crescenzo had fabricated evidence. But they disagreed with Gray on some of his other claims, finding that Crescenzo had not failed to disclose evidence and that McInerney had not detained Gray unlawfully. In May 2017, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx filed a joint motion to vacate the conviction, dismiss the charges against Gray and release him from prison. Gray filed for a certificate of innocence, which was granted in February 2018.
Eyewitness accounts and a milk jug investigators found nearby and thought had held gasoline were used to support the arson theory. The fire is no longer considered an arson, and there is no evidence an accelerant like gasoline was present, Loevy said.Ekl said even though gasoline was not found at the scene, witnesses said they smelled gasoline, and water could have washed away traces of an accelerant.
