Man freed after 24 years in prison arrested on attempted murder charges

TALLAHASSEE (AP) --
A Florida man who successfully won $1.25 million for being wrongfully jailed is now being accused of attempted murder.

Tallahassee police late Monday arrested 51-year-old Alan Jerome Crotzer.


Crotzer is accused of shooting into a car that he was driving next to Sunday in Tallahassee, striking Antoine Davis in his arm and leg.
-----------------

The Florida Legislature in 2008 approved a bill that paid Crotzer $1.25 million for his time spent in prison. The measure also guaranteed Crotzer free tuition to any college or university in the state.

Crotzer is on the board of directors of the Innocence Project of Florida.

I guess there must have been a good reason why this "innocent" man was picked up years ago....not just a very good citizen and I wonder if the 1.25 million is already gone. If so then at least it is used to stimilus the economy...., or perhaps stimilus for the criminals....

Was this the same guy who was on the Cowhead Show, threw the first pitch at a Rays game and sang the National Anthem?

Must have liked prison so much that he couldn't handle being out of there.....like the James Whitmore character in Shawshank Redemption.....

Because the twenty four years in jail didn't change him, no that couldn't had possibly affected him. What is the point anyway, he was going to commit a crime so we should have left him in jail?

This must make your day. Believe it or not, "accused" ain't the same thing as "convicted".
