Witness admits to being drunk during murder identification as Jason Moore seeks justice after 11 years in prison

news.yahoo.com

Jason Moore remains in prison for the 2005 murder of Robert Darby, despite new evidence from the sole eyewitness, 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. Moore was convicted based on Ahmed's testimony, which did not match his physical description. A recent investigation revealed that Ahmed had previously dismissed Moore as a suspect. The Criminal Cases Review Commission is now reviewing the case, but progress has been slow. Support for Moore's release has grown, including backing from Darby's brother, who believes Moore is innocent. High-profile figures have joined the campaign, criticizing the handling of the case and the CCRC's effectiveness in addressing potential miscarriages of justice.
