Man Convicted In 1997 Robbery Files For New Trial


e-mail print friendly

A Goldsboro man who claims he was wrongly convicted has filed for a new trial.

Terence Garner has been in prison since he was convicted of armed robbery and attempted murder in 1998. His attorney has filed motions for a re-trial in Johnston County.

The shooting victim identified Garner, even though another man confessed to the crime. That man later recanted his story.

A recent "Frontline" documentary on PBS brought national attention to the case.
