Charles Rice has been exonerated in a 2011 shooting that injured four people in Philly's Point Breeze neighborhood
Charges have been dropped against a man who was wrongfully convicted as a teenager in a 2011 shooting in Philadelphia that injured four people.
“Unlike his co-defendant, who was found not guilty of all charges because of alibi testimony, Rice’s alibi was less vigorously investigated by assigned DA Detectives, even though the assigned prosecutor made multiple requests that they do so,” a District Attorney’s Office spokesperson wrote.
However, when Rice was arrested on Sept. 27, 2011, his hair was braided away from his face in cornrows to the back of the neck, officials said. The GVTF also said neither Ladson – who is currently serving a federal sentence for an unrelated crime – nor his mother responded to their repeated attempts to reinterview them. None of the other shooting victims identified Rice as the gunman.
