In 2001, a jury found Terence Richardson and Ferrone Claiborne not guilty of murdering a police officer. But, thanks to a 1996 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, a judge sentenced both men to life in prison anyway. The Supreme Court of Virginia has now granted a new hearing to prove their innocence. There will be an evidentiary hearing to present new evidence in their case May 22-24, 2024.
