NCCAI Turns Attention to Next Case
February 24, 2010The North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence has turned its attention to working to free Larry Lamb. Lamb was one of three people convicted in the fatal shooting of Leamon Grady, who was robbed and found dead in his home in 1987. He is serving a life sentence. Levon “Bo” Jones was also accused of shooting Grady. After 13 years on death row, he was released in May 2008 when prosecutors decided to drop the charges against him after a key witness admitted she lied on the stand.
