Man Freed After Four-Decade Murder Court Fight

Everett D. Green, 67, a rooming house operator, was freed by Federal District Judge James R. Kirkland after a 44 year battle over multiple convictions for murder and arson. The case began with a 1953 fire and led to a 1955 second degree murder verdict, then first degree murder and a death sentence. The Supreme Court later ruled double jeopardy, vacating the second conviction and freeing Green. The judge cautioned future cases may still seek first degree penalties in similar circumstances.
