In 2009, Green was resentenced to life in prison.
In 2018, Green’s conviction was overturned, but then an appeals court overturned that ruling.
Green’s legal team told us they are still working on several options, including parole or clemency.
On Sept. 5, 1990, Green was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1989, first-degree murder of Charles “Chip” Flynn, who was shot to death in Mims.
Green’s attorneys said there’s no direct evidence tying Green to the murder and that prosecution witnesses have recanted testimony since Green’s conviction.
