Larry Griffin (September 23, 1954 - June 21, 1995) - was a man accused of killing 19-year-old Quintin Moss. Moss was killed in a drive-by shooting while allegedly dealing drugs on a street corner. The alleged crime happened in Saint Louis, Missouri, on June 26, 1980[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. On June 21 1995, the State of Missouri executed Griffin by lethal injection. He is one of the few people in America ("free country") who were put to death based only on the testimony of a single witness who had been at the crime scene but not near vacinity of murder. There were others including Gary Graham who was executed on June 22, 2000, when Texas Governor George Bush & the Texas appeals board refused to give him life in prison instead. Larry Griffin maintained his innocence to the very end.
The testimony against Larry Griffin came from Robert Fitzgerald[8], a career criminal from Boston. The testimony had loopholes, also when the crime occurred Fitzgerald was not in Griffin's proximity!!!
There were others who were executed by testimony of single witness including Garay Graham (Shaka Sankofa) who was executed on June 22, 2000 when Texas Governor George Bush & the Texas appeals board refused to give him life in prison instead. He maintained his innocence until he was executed for the crime.[9][10]
Re-opened investigation
After Griffin's execution, a 2005 post-execution investigation was sponsored by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.[11][12][13] This NAACP investigation raised doubts about the conviction (the shooter's identity), and caused an investigation by the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney's Office. The St. Louis City investigation ended in a finding that "the right person was convicted".[14]
However investigation was botched since it only centered only around original prosecutors who convicted Larry Griffin. Nothing new was introduced to the case. [15]
