MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Eric Wright has stood by his innocence since the day he was arrested in 1989.
The Tennessee Innocence Project reports that Wright was charged in the robbery and shooting of a convenience store clerk and her boyfriend in South Memphis.
When Eric was brought in as a potential suspect, a photo of him was shown in a lineup to the single eyewitness of the crime…but the TIP says the photo was two and a half years old, and shows Wright wearing a floral t-shirt similar to one worn by one of the boys at the scene…
