RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A three-judge panel in North Carolina will hear arguments in the case of a convicted murderer whose guilt has been questioned.
The North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission meets Tuesday in Raleigh to hear the case of Greg Taylor, The Cary man has spent more than 16 years in prison for the stabbing and beating death of 26-year-old Jacquetta Thomas, whose body was found on a Raleigh street in September 1991.
Another man, Craig Taylor, has confessed to the crime.
The commission found enough evidence to warrant a review of the case. But Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby has said that he's skeptical of Craig Taylor's confession, partly because he's confessed to almost 70 other crimes.
North Carolina is the only state with a government agency dedicated to verifying claims of innocence.
