Witness admits to being drunk during murder identification as Jason Moore remains in prison
Jason Moore remains in prison for the 2005 murder of Robert Darby, despite new evidence from the key witness, Abdul Ahmed, who admitted he was drunk during the incident and uncertain about his identification. This revelation has prompted Moore's family to seek justice after 11 years of incarceration. Ahmed initially excluded Moore from an identity parade but later identified him in a second parade seven years later, using a photo that obscured Moore's height. The lack of forensic evidence linking Moore to the crime has raised questions about the reliability of the witness's testimony. Moore's case has gained support from high-profile figures, including the victim's brother, who believes Moore is innocent. However, the Criminal Cases Review Commission has faced criticism for its handling of the case, leading to concerns about its ability to address potential miscarriages of justice.
