Richard Rosario – Incarcerated

Richard Rosario has been in prison since 1996 when he was arrested for a murder in the Bronx and sentenced to 25 years to life. On the day of the murder, Richard was in Daytona, Florida. He returned to New York and immediately went to the precinct to speak with police as they surely were looking for the wrong man. Although Rosario supplied them with the names of 13 alibi eyewitnesses to his whereabouts on the day of the murder, he was arrested, tried and convicted based upon two witnesses who picked his photo out of a book. There was no other evidence linking him to the crime. He did not know the victim, and he did not know the witnesses.
