HARTFORD, Conn. — Two Connecticut murder convicts who were freed last year are now facing the possibility of returning to prison after the state Supreme Court ruled Friday that a judge was wrong to overturn their convictions.
Justices in a unanimous decision ordered a new appeal trial for George Gould and Ronald Taylor, who had served more than 16 years in prison for a 1993 New Haven killing.
The two were freed April 1, 2010, after a Rockville Superior Court judge ruled they were victims of “manifest injustice” and declared them “actually innocent” after a key prosecution witness recanted her testimony.
