HARTFORD, Conn. ? A Connecticut man whose murder conviction was overturned but later reinstated has died of colon cancer while awaiting a new appeal trial.
Ronald Taylor's lawyer issued a statement Wednesday saying Taylor died Tuesday in Cheshire after a two-year cancer fight.
Taylor and co-defendant George Gould were convicted of killing a New Haven grocery shop owner in 1993 and sentenced to 80 years in prison. Both were freed in April 2010 after a state judge ruled they were victims of "manifest injustice" and declared them "actually innocent." The judge's ruling came after a key witness recanted her trial testimony.
In July, the state Supreme Court reinstated the murder convictions, saying the judge was wrong to overturn them. Gould was sent back to prison; Taylor was allowed to remain out on bail.
