Green has spent over 35 years in Florida prisons following a 1989 murder conviction in Brevard County, a case he has consistently challenged. Although a federal court previously ruled the conviction wrongful, that decision was later overturned on appeal. During a period of conditional release between 2021 and 2023, Green maintained an exemplary record, holding steady employment and participating in community life before being returned to custody.
The upcoming vigil features speakers including Green’s legal counsel, family members, and faith leaders. The program also includes CBS News "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty and Florida Today editor John Torres, both of whom have documented the case for years. If the Florida Commission on Offender Review denies parole, Green faces a tentative release date in 2054, at age 97. The event is open to the public and will be broadcast via the Justice for Crosley Green Facebook page.
