Sidney Holmes, who served 30 years, released after new inquiry found eyewitness identification was likely ‘misidentification’
A man who served more than 30 years of a 400-year prison sentence has been freed after he was exonerated for armed robbery charges., after the state decided to reinvestigate a 1988 armed robbery in which Holmes was accused of being the getaway driver.
“Prosecutors with the Conviction Review Unit determined that Holmes had a plausible claim of innocence because of how he became a suspect and because of the precarious eyewitness identification that was the principal evidence against him at trial,” Pryor said.
