Florida Department of Corrections inmate No. 902925 had spent more than 30 years behind bars.
Green, a small-time cocaine dealer with one prior prison stint of only six months, was sent to Florida s death row on Feb. 20, 1991, for the murder of Charles Chip Flynn. His death sentence was later commuted to life in prison for kidnapping and murder.
There are many who believed the Titusville man was railroaded and was innocent of the crime that had kept him locked up for the better part of three decades.
Green, incarcerated at the Calhoun Correctional Institution, was granted a new trial July 20, 2018, by the U.S. District court of the Middle District of Florida, citing prosecutorial violations before his initial trial.

According to court records, a preliminary hearing for 57-year-old Joseph Green was held in Dane County court Monday. The court entered a not guilty plea after Green stood mute, and he was later bound over for trial.
The man has been charged with fatally shooting 63-year-old Sheila Green of Madison. After allegedly shooting his sister, the criminal complaint said Green went back to his apartment, dropped the gun in a trash bin, called 911 and waited for police to arrive.
