Exonerated Prisoners Get Their Wish

Ronald Taylor and George Gould are headed back to court—state Supreme Court. At their own request.

A state judge freed the two New Haven men from prison last April after concluding they didn’t commit the murder for which they were convicted.

However, state prosecutors aren’t giving up. They’ve appealed the ruling.

So the two men—one of whom is battling colon cancer—- wanted a speedy resolution. They appealed to skip over an appellate court and have Connecticut’s Supreme Court take on the case. The Supreme Court has agreed; the case will be heard Feb. 7.
