Elkhart Man Wrongfully Convicted Of Murder Exonerated After 16 Years in Prison

Credit JAKOB LAZZARO / WVPE  A 43-year-old Elkhart man wrongfully convicted in a 2002 murder case has been officially exonerated after the state granted a motion from the Elkhart County Prosecuter to dismiss the charges on July 19. Andrew Royer, who has an intellectual disability and no prior criminal record, was coerced into confessing to the murder a 94-year-old woman found dead in a high-rise apartment near downtown Elkhart in November 2002 after two days of mostly unrecorded interrogation by Elkhart Police Department detective Carl Conway.  Royer was subsequently convicted in a 2004 trial and spent 16 years in prison until the University of Notre Dame’s newly-formed Exoneration Justice Clinic took up his case.
