Citing the public’s strong interest in releasing a prisoner who remained incarcerated in violation of the Constitution, a federal judge on Wednesday ordered Crosley Green to be released from prison.
Federal Judge Roy B. Dalton of the Middle District Court of Florida granted a motion from Green’s attorneys requesting his immediate release due to health concerns, the pandemic and the fact that Green s murder conviction was overturned by Dalton himself on July 20, 2018.
When Green steps through the doors of Calhoun Correctional Facility, which could happen as soon as Wednesday night, it will be his first taste of freedom in 31 years and 10 months.
