A Florida man serving 400 years in prison for armed robbery walked out of jail Monday as a judge vacated his sentence based on new findings that the case against him was deeply flawed.
Monday after a judge vacated his sentence based on new findings that the case against him was deeply flawed.
Prosecutors now firmly believe he didn't do it, citing a flawed focus on his vehicle, a witness identification process rife with bias and a solid alibi. The man told his brother, the victim, about the car, and the victim told police. Police quickly zeroed in on Holmes, who had been convicted for his role as the driver in two armed robberies in 1984, according to the memo.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass was often a bestseller in the U.S. from 1976 to 1983, a historian at the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum told investigators reviewing the case. The victim did not identify a suspect after having viewed a book of 250 possible suspects and after having viewed a six-photo lineup that included Holmes, they said.
