This week, Crosley must surrender himself to the Florida Department of Corrections by April 17. U.S. District Judge Roy Dalton of the Middle District of Florida wrote that Crosley, having run out of appeals, will have to complete the remainder of his sentence — life behind bars.
Crosley was conditionally released in 2021 and remains on house arrest until the Supreme Court determines whether it will hear his case.
During his release, he has held a full-time job and became a valued member of his community.
In 1990 Crosley was convicted for the murder of 21 YO Charles “Chip” Flynn Jr. No physical evidence linked him to the crime, in which the victim’s ex-girlfriend reported that an assailant she described as “a Black guy” kidnapped the two of them and shot Flynn.
I wanted to share a heartbreaking case with you all. Crosley Green spent 32 years in prison with 19 on death row, before being released by a federal judge who ruled that a prosecutor withheld evidence in his murder case.
