Lazale Ashby is a Connecticut inmate whose legal saga stems from the December 2002 rape and murder of 21-year-old Elizabeth Garcia in her Hartford apartment; DNA evidence and his own statements led to his arrest and a 2008 conviction on multiple counts, including capital felony, for which he was sentenced to death — making him one of the state’s youngest death row prisoners — but after Connecticut abolished the death penalty, that sentence was converted to life plus 125 years. However, in 2020 the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned his conviction because his rights were violated at the original trial, and Ashby later pleaded guilty in 2023 and received a 46½-year prison sentence, the third sentencing in the case; he is also serving a 25-year term for another 2003 murder
