Wasco student Rollins convicted in 1991 murder retrial pursued
UPC Offord Rollins IV was convicted in the Maria Madera Rodriguez murder of 1991. After a hung jury, a Fresno appeals court overturned the verdict and a new trial loomed but was never completed.

The suit faced skepticism for delaying Rollins life, potential gold digging, and unlikely settlement.
