Crosley Green's Freedom Short-Lived as He Returns to Prison.

TL;DR Summary
Crosley Green, a Florida man who spent nearly half his life in prison for a murder he says he didn't commit, returned to custody on Monday after his conviction was reinstated. Green's lawyers fought to keep him free, but the Supreme Court declined to hear his case. His team petitioned for parole or clemency, hoping the state will do the right thing. Green was found guilty of murder in 1990 and sentenced to death, but his conviction was overturned in 2018. There was no physical evidence tying Green to the shooting, and his lawyers say no public interest is served by keeping him behind bars.
